About me

Hello!
My journey of art has taken place throughout my entire life, along which I have been honing my skills to allow others to experience my art in the same way I do. I create my work as a means of expressing myself; a source of pride which allows me to experience entirely alien emotions that words cannot describe. My art reflects my moods, be it vintage, ecstatic, or another difficult feeling lacking meaningful expression. The subjects of my works focus on nature and animals; I believe it is important to remind people of the beauty of nature and the inspirations we can draw. Luck and timing play a key role in the artwork, drawing inspiration from something as simple as a bee landing on a flower to the angle of light penetrating the canopy of a tree. In precious moments such as those, one can be encaptured by the beauty of the nature around us. These experiences have shaped my philosophy in understanding that everything we have fundamentally is a gift from mother earth, and I hope to impart this knowledge to others through my art.
I believe it is important for people to appreciate what we have in the nature around us, ready to be experienced in person and not through a plastic screen.
The art pieces I create can vary in time and effort needed to create them. Some photography pieces can take as little as fifteen minutes to present. Inversely, works such as my purple cat or my pixelated brother can take hours to weeks to create. The medium used and the type of art I am creating often dictates my time when creating a new piece. My art is unique in its ability to express the world as I see it, while also allowing someone to gaze into the workings of my mind. The individuality of each work and the nuances that makes my work unique compared to other artists is just another fragment of what makes the world a diverse and beautiful place. When I use my camera; it's just an inverted means of seeing the world through my eyes, capturing all that catches my eyes with a simple click of a button.
My goal is to continue to hone my ability to catch the perfect little moments of life that others tend to overlook; and to express myself in a number of complex moods and lenses of the world. Hopefully, allowing me to express my love of nature to others using a simple camera.
Nature inspires me to create; the beauty of nature in simple moments (such as the flutter of wings) can be more than enough to take one’s breath away. That experience, that flash of emotion and joy that can be found all around us during every second of every day inspires me. In Destinyblue work she was able to express complex feelings of anxiety through her point of view. Her talent lies in her ability to sweep you off your feet using her work, the moods she can convey cannot be easily described using words.
Motivating me to walk outside and show the world the beauty i've seen with my own eyes. I wish to send out a message; when your having a bad day and the world seems jaded, and gloomy. Open your eyes and catch the beauty that can be overlooked, savor the sight and perfection that has been unveiled. What I wish to bring, is a smile or the overwhelming beauty of emotion expressed in art, that is what I reach for when I take a picture. When people view my work, life that is within the work, moving them in a whole new way; the detail that holds them in awe and inspiration. Is what I wish to bring. Before I end my note; that I resonate deeply with nature, and mother nature has always been my companion in life; to show the world her beauty and elegance means the world to me, and hopefully I can help people find the kindness in their heart to care for her, perhaps appreciate her life and duty, for the gifts she has given us.
