The motivating factor behind my artwork could be described as – ‘being inspired themes from the Constructivist Manifesto to try to access what I perceive to be the essence of any given text or story’, or – ‘I just like drawing pictures’. There’s an equal amount of truth in both of those statements.

I work in both digital and traditional media. I am moved by interesting environments, lighting, people, and the events that surround or directly affect me and thus try to depict those subjects or their essence in my work.

I believe in creating with a goal in mind and doing my best to be intentional. I respect the creative process and the craftsmanship and role of others. I truly believe that art is a way to positively inspire others and that art can also be a way to inspire confidence. It is awesome to begin everyday knowing I get to create.

My work explores the beauty of different settings and locations. Always beginning with an idea or story before creating my illustrations, I draw a lot of inspiration from my experiences while growing up, as well as various travel adventures.
