ARTIST STATEMENT

As a multi-disciplinary artist, educator, and entrepreneur, my work is a daring exploration of life’s tapestry—weaving together environmental stewardship, human emotion, and the digital frontier. My practice is driven by a singular mission: to tell stories that inspire growth and foster connection.

My relocation to Jupiter, Florida, has sparked a profound visual evolution. Inspired by the coastal beauty of my new home, my "Paradise" series moves away from traditional palettes into a world of vibrant, tropical hues. Through these paintings, I capture the essence of South Florida’s marine life and landscapes, inviting viewers into my personal version of paradise.

However, my commitment to paradise goes beyond the canvas. Through "The Discarded Fishing Line Art Project," I transform marine debris into public art and community workshops, turning environmental advocacy into a creative act of preservation. This same passion for community-building drives my documentary series, "ArtISts Connecting South Florida," where I spotlight the diverse creatives shaping our local culture.

I believe that the tools for human growth are constantly evolving. This belief led me to the digital arena with the "Path to Victory" scholastic esports podcast. By creating a space for dialogue between educators, families, and industry partners, I champion competitive gaming as a bridge to leadership for the next generation. Whether through a brushstroke or a broadcast, my work remains dedicated to the limitless potential of shared discovery.
