Art With Purpose and Energy
Whether I’m working with pastels, graphite, oils, acrylics, or wax, every piece I create carries a single intention—to spark lasting joy and leave behind a smile that stays.
My Energy Series, featured and sold in galleries, was born from a desire to share love, healing, and soulful connection through color and movement. These works are more than paint on canvas they’re infused with emotion and meaning, crafted to reach beyond the surface and speak directly to the heart.
Each brushstroke and pencil strike is a transmission of energy meant to inspire love, laughter, ignite curiosity, and offer a moment of stillness or light in someone’s day.

Sometimes the most powerful way to tell a story is through a single photograph. As you explore this gallery, take a moment to slow down and really look at the details, light, emotion, and composition.
Some images were captured on mobile devices, others with professional Canon and Nikon cameras.
The point is not the equipment, it is the eye behind the lens.
Great photography comes from timing, perspective, and intention. Let the images speak for themselves.
Video Samples
I specialize in video production that blends mobile videography with professional Canon camera systems to create striking visuals. From live events and behind the scenes culture to short form branded content, I bring creative direction and thoughtful camera work to every project.
Alongside filmmaking, I provide high impact graphic design using industry tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and modern AI platforms. Every piece combines technical precision with artistic storytelling to produce visuals that connect and convert.
