Welcome to my portfolio of photography and digital art!
Artist Statement: I don't know what exactly it is about abstract art that appeals to me so much. As an artist, I love that I am creating something 'ex nihilo,' or from nothing. I love the freedom of combining shapes, movement, colors into something beautiful or intriguing that comes purely from my imagination. While I am often drawn to the unique symmetry of the square format for my work, I also work with vertical and horizontal ratios.
I love vintage things (especially old cars, old phones and radios, and old cameras), so my photography tends to focus on things like that, though I also shoot macros and other types of photography.
