- Artist Statement -

 

Growing up amidst the starry night skies and fluid lava tide pools of Hawaii, I was captivated by the hidden wonders all around me. Through various levels of magnification, I saw tiny tide pools as expansive oceans, dirt piles as towering super-volcanoes, and the backyard jungle as a vibrant, alien world brimming with life. I was immersed in a mesmerizing microcosm of intricate colors, flowing textures, and fractal patterns—an experience that still fuels my creative vision today, inspiring me to recreate these transformed realities in my work.

My work bridges the natural and seemingly supernatural realms, inviting viewers to slow down and truly observe the intricate details of life. In today’s fast-paced distracted world, we often overlook the subtle, meaningful moments that shape our existence. I see this pause as a luxury—a moment to fully immerse ourselves in the present, to engage our imagination, and to create stories that explore different perspectives.

Through my art, I encourage reflection and a deeper connection with our senses and inner worlds. I believe art has the ability to transport us to other dimensions, and my work seeks to explore the essence of experience and the imaginative lens through which we perceive it as the heart of the artistic journey.

Welcome to my Universe!
