I've always had a passion for the arts. There's just something magical about them, like the way good theater or film can transport an audience to another time and place, or how a piece of music can play on the emotions like a concert pianist plays the keys. Some paintings can do this too. And that's what I hope to capture with my work, just a little of that magic. I hope the vibrant colors and deep textures draw viewers in, make them take pause, make them feel something they didn't before.
