“As a portrait artist, I strive to create art that is visually interesting, captures reflections and has many facets to the piece. Designs with a mixture of bright colors and shadows of surroundings, give a diverse outlook on beauty of the human form. This point of view explores the balance between reality and fantasy. through the contrast of black/white and color.”

“I love to use a variety and experiment with new media in each project while keeping a consistent theme of graphite and pencils. My process consists of layering a variety of mediums.”

“The themes I use for inspiration are diverse, such as Pop Entertainment and Asian culture. I’ve always admired the traditions, clothing, etc. of Asian culture and my passion is film for what first inspired my work. Recreating familiar icons in a new light is something I love exploring.”
