Throughout my childhood and into my adult years, traveling has been an integral part of my life.

As a result, my workspaces have taken on unconventional forms,

from outdoor environments to makeshift studios.​

While I begin with an initial idea or concept, I allow the process to take control and develop a life

of its own.

In doing so, I create layers both within the materials and the subject matter, adding depth

and complexity to my work. 

I draw inspiration from scripture, history, mythology and fairy tales,

infusing these elements with my own personal experiences.

Ultimately, my work reflects both my personal and artistic journey, with the intention of resonating with the universal journey we all undertake. I strive to incorporate archetypal subject matter into my pieces,

tapping into the collective unconscious that binds humanity together.
