I like to work in a variety of styles. When I am painting, it often is very abstract, surreal, and even at times, illusionistic. When I am drawing, specifically colored pencil, I draw hyper realistic figures.
My photography is often narrative and mysterious. Architecture is often the subject, as well as interior design and figures. I love high contrast and rich use of color. Often times, my goal in my art is to get the viewer questioning how the image or work of art was created. I especially like combining painting and photography by literally painting on top of the photograph. There will be times when I want my viewers to have a hard time figuring out what is a photograph and what is just paint.
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts. I graduated in May, 2018. I double majored in visual communications and painting.
