There are three major elements which direct my creativity. I find EMOTION to be the driving essence that inspires many creations. Within my work I often convey emotion by turning this intangible element into a visible description. MYSTERY, the counterpart to my curious & analytical nature, is the bountiful source from which my imagination extracts ideas. My intrigue with obscure topics – death & beyond, dreams & the subconscious, the vastness & foreignness of abstrusities & undefined concepts, mental conditions, and commonly unnoticed details – may too reflect in my artwork. I also find myself returning to the dualistic nature of the universe. I like to emphasize contrasts, embodying both YIN & YANG.
