ABOUT ME

- ARTIST STATEMENT -

When I was a little boy, one of my favorite things to do was to read stories. I would then take them and transform them into imaginative moments. As I got older these imaginative moments focused more on the emotional themes rather than just what was written on the page. Doing this allowed me to create my own abstracted pieces where the takeaway was more emotional rather than literal. This ideology became the central theme of my work as an artist, designer, and author.
