The artist says of his work…
Growing up watching my mom craft and paint ignited my passion for art. Not only was my mom the primary impact for my artistry, my creative peers also contributed to my overall appreciation of art. While working at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, I was constantly surrounded by beautiful paintings, photos, and sculptures as a teen docent and also as a guard. These works deeply influenced me as an artist. In addition, I am a big lover of cinematography in movies, which drives my creativity and influences the imagery I choose to highlight in my photographs.
