ABOUT ME
ARTIST & CREATOR
Artist Statment
I do not make art because it is easy or fun, although sometimes it is. I make it because it is the only thing that has ever made sense to me.
I grew up in a system that never fit how my mind works. I was labeled with learning disabilities, but what I had was a different way of seeing. Art became my way of processing the world and it still is.

My work is about finding balance. I build with traditional materials like acrylic and canvas, alongside 3D-printed forms, gold leaf, and wood. Every piece holds tension between structure and imperfection, between digital and handmade. It invites you to step closer, to slow down, to feel something deeper than surface.
With a background in fine art, design, and marketing, I care about how things are made and why they matter. For me, the process is the point. The quiet hours. The problem solving. The failed starts. That is where the meaning lives.
I make work for those who are looking for the same thing I am. A place where curiosity is enough.
Where structure and emotion sit side by side. Where wonder still has a place.
I build slowly. I work with my hands. I solve problems until something feels strong enough to hold.
My process starts with materials, layering paint, shaping surfaces, and moving between digital and analog tools. I sketch. I test. I fail. I rebuild. Sometimes the work comes together just as I imagined. Sometimes I am able to bring the full idea to life. And sometimes the work takes on a life of its own.
Other times, it does not work at all. Either way, I keep showing up.
I make art because I love the making. The finished piece is just the byproduct of that process. Every work holds a hundred small decisions, a willingness to get it wrong, and the hope of chasing that feeling of childlike wonder.
My work lives at the intersection of design, sculpture, fine art, and fun. It is made for those who care about the small details, how things are built, not just how they look.
I am always looking to partner with galleries, collectors, and collaborators who value process as much as product. Every piece I make comes from that place of care and curiosity.
If you are interested in featuring, collecting, or joining the waitlist for a commissioned work, I would love to hear from you.
Let’s build something worth coming back to.
