“I was inspired by bold colors and shapes from my everyday surroundings…

Living in New York, I am constantly bombarded by an overflow of things… 

Short glimpses of people passing by

objects waiting to be discovered

small slivers of nature within a growing city

these moments are what tie these images together.”

“Soft bubblegum pinks and cotton candy textures are what I’ve found in the hands of children running through the streets….

…Rare rainbows that emerge high above the buildings shortly disappear while finding comfort in the darkness of the city.”

“I never felt like I could truly be good enough to do anything else as an artist…

….painting and drawing, although I experimented with it, didn’t feel as natural as the camera did.”
