"In the rush of an ever-changing world, photography is my favorite medium because it grants us stillness. it’s the art of capturing a momentary truth and carrying its beauty forward through time." "It’s the only art that makes the fleeting permanent. It captures the beauty of today so it can be remembered tomorrow."
Where do you find inspiration?"My creativity is fueled by the mirror of others and the raw landscape of nature. I embrace looking into the existential void, because acknowledging that nothing stays the same enables me to capture true light and turn it into art."
What would you do with $25,000?"I’d start by giving back to the people who carried me through my toughest times. After honoring their kindness; I truly would not be where I am today without their continuing kindness and support. I’d put the remaining toward my college education. Pursuing my degree will allow me to expand my knowledge and deepen my artwork, serving as an inspiration to those who see me continue to strive through the toughest of times and encouraging them to do the same." "Success is a shared victory"
