Artist Statement
I am a photographer, digital artist, writer, and journalist. I come from a background in mechanical engineering, and that order is reflected in my artistic works.
At this stage in my life, I am delving deeper into my soul and creativity. Abstract art has always drawn me in, and this has been reflected in my photography and my approach to manufacturing design. I can explore my deeper emotions and inner concepts by creating with a conceptual focus.
Using primarily digital media, my art reflects a meditative state of creation that allows me to get out of my own way and let the artistic flow take control. This seemingly out-of-control process does not mean there is no order to the images I create, but perhaps the opposite is true.
My goal for the future is to exhibit my images in both group shows and solo exhibitions. In addition to showcasing what I am creating, I also want to remain open to the evolution of my art as I deepen my connection to my inner process.
