Learning and being a part of other human beings stories, connections, and lives is one of the most fascinating and fulfilling aspects of our own. Because of this, I’m deeply interested in exploring human emotions, people, and their places in the world. While we - as humans - all have different lives, problems, and backgrounds, there are universal connecting forces. Anger. Pain. Joy. Love.

As a body of work my pieces are all united through this focus on humanity. Each work is unique and reflects the person or people it highlights… ranging from documentary portraits, to short horror-flicks, and love tales. While some are fiction, all document true feelings, emotions, and aim to be forms of catharsis for viewers and participators alike.
