Durham, NC

It’s important to me to focus my creative energy on feeling grateful and seeing the good and beauty in the world. I find people and nature endlessly inspiring. I distill down the stunning ornate complexity of a moment into something that can live on through art. Whether the perfect curve of a smiling cheek or a windswept branch, wrinkles in a face that tell the story of every smile and frown, the love or skepticism in a wayward glance, or even the beauty of a rogue insect. To me, there is unfathomable beauty presented to us in every moment as long as we can stay open. I don’t simply want to create a beautiful object, but rather a complete organism that is alive and breathing that facilitates an experience with the viewer. Perhaps a feeling of wonder, or a moment of respite that speaks to something deeper, something undeniably true.
