“I’m inspired by people and the things that bring us together whether it is food, faith, entertainment or tragedy. In my work, connection is often represented by an arch or a circle because a circle to me represents fluidity and togetherness. Capturing a candid feeling brings humility and understanding to the viewers in a world that could use more empathy. What I dream of is art that has a feeling of nostalgia, thus creating a soothing, calming influence on the mind.”
