I have a playful nature, and I have always been attracted to color and decorative compositions. As such, the images I produce often represent my whimsical state of mind and being true to myself in the concepts I create. Sometimes, there is even a darkness to my work, and I am fascinated by the concepts juxtaposition to bright colors. Over the past few years, I have been inspired by nature and it's beautiful state of sublime, interpersonal relationships, gender roles, and the human condition.

While my concepts may vary, I stay consistent with color and pay close attention to detail. I use photography alongside of other mediums to break the boundaries of what some may call a "pretty" image into a realm of altered reality that I produce through photo manipulation. Being a child of the digital age, I am constantly intrigued by the boundless posiblilities of creation, and I am always looking for new ways to broaden my artistic experience.
