Hi, and welcome to my stream of consciousness. Here, you’ll find my thoughts unveiled a bit more for your entertainment, for my reflective purposes, and for the beauty of connecting. So, whether you enjoy my work or are curious about the creative process, I invite you to follow along.

For those new to my creations, I draw inspiration from my introspective view of life. I experiment with different media, allowing each to express its energy and guide me toward the best way of using it. Feel free to explore my portfolio (and soon, my shop) to get a clearer sense of what I mean.

My aim is to post every Friday, reflecting on the week’s work—whether it’s a traditional studio week or a time spent gathering ideas, thoughts, and visual influences from life beyond the studio.

You can expect reflections on self, community, the objects around me, and visuals that capture my experience of life.

If you’d like to reach out, I’m here to learn, evolve, and engage with the world around me—including you. Please feel free to message, comment, or share your thoughts.

See you next Friday :)
