Artist's Statement (in progress)

I love to create and inspire. Through my art, I tend to explore concepts of afterlife, death, and rebirth. Such concepts have always tugged at my attention and can be endlessly explored. I feel as though there is so much out there that the human mind cannot even attempt to comprehend and my art reflects many of those desires to understand what is beyond my reach.

I work mostly with traditional photography methods and digital graphic design. I almost always have a camera with me and have gotten into the habit of photographing things that interest me anytime they appear, whether it is on a crappy cell phone camera or on my professional equipment, that process adds significantly to my process of creating concepts for pieces. I love photographing people in their element. From the comfort of being in a common surrounding, people tend to show so much more depth.

I have been traveling a lot lately, and much of my recent work has been compiled from many different areas. I have been focusing on how earthly beauty and destruction reflects human survival and existence after life. For instance, I am exploring the question, “what would continue to prevail if the human race perished completely?” My current work has developed out of my previous explorations of transcendence.
