My work actively seeks self-discovery and present-moment awareness to embrace the passage of daily life pursuing it to be significant. By mindfully viewing the interactions of light, color, and compositions that surround me, I can experience the visual world in a non-verbal manner that I deem valuable to share with the world. I capture moments often overlooked and fleeting, such as a streak of light coming through the window creating a play of light and shadow or a still life of mundane objects that can create endless stories. I draw attention to these seemingly insignificant instances because I find them meaningful as they are a way of contemplation and meditation that lead me into valuable introspection. 

​

I work across different mediums like photography, painting, and printmaking constantly seeking ways to create a synergy between them. In my recent work, I am exploring alternative photographic processes like cyanotype and gum bichromate, as they enable me to engage in the entire approach from capturing the image with my camera to translating and transforming it into a tangible expressive medium. Through this involvement, I am able to manipulate the techniques and incorporate new elements like thread or fabric which create visually interesting results. A space for questioning opens up, what it is that is being seen? This results in my audience engaging in a mindful viewing exercise, the same that I go through in my work.

​

I view my creative practice as an analogy to the way I approach daily life. Curiosity and experimentation have become essential components of my work, allowing me to explore processes, techniques, and materials in unconventional ways. I believe in embracing mistakes and avoiding the pursuit of perfection, whether it's letting the paint drip over the canvas or overexposing an image to light. This approach often leads to discovering and developing new ideas, opening up a world of possibilities for my creations.
