STATEMENT:

I am influenced by Wabi-sabi, finding peace in imperfection. These imperfections can be found everywhere, such as a flower blooming in a crack in the sidewalk, an old door with it’s chips and rusted patina and even in people. These “flaws” are actually beautiful to me. They are what makes things unique. I want to help people embrace their uniqueness and to find joy in them.

My paintings and photography style is not limited to one particular art movement but, a combination of many.
