I've been an artist for as long as I can remember. Over the years, as my skills in painting and sculpture have deepened, so too has my understanding of what drives me to create. For the creative mind, art imitates life and life imitates art, a constant dialogue between inner experience and outer expression.
My work is deeply introspective, rooted in the study of my own emotions and experiences. For the past several years, meditation has been central to my practice, alongside my exploration of Carl Jung's psychology, astrology, tarot, Human Design, and the Gene Keys. I'm drawn to the teachings of mystics and channelers. I've attended seminars with Esther Hicks and Dr. Joe Dispenza's advanced retreats, seeking to understand consciousness and transformation.
Life hasn't always been easy, and perhaps I'm still searching for that elusive "easy button." But it's the depth of my experiences, the struggles, the breakthroughs, the questions, that fuel my work and help me process the evolving themes of my journey. If I had to describe my art in three words, they would be: connection, awareness, and spirituality.
When I'm not creating, you'll find me riding my motorcycle, roller skating, paddleboarding, working out, traveling, or seeking out experiences that surprise and expand me.
