From her studied there, she branched out and began exploring the world and discovering new ways to capture the creativity that lives in every art form. Artist statement: I am a visual artist with an ever-evolving concept of the world around me. I do not restrict myself to category and am constantly conceiving of ways to capture, and create, an intimate form of self-expression meant to inspire the imaginations of those around me. Art is in my soul and i want to provoke emotions and ignite passions, inspiring others through my images. The urban streets are my inspiration. From the rhythmic cacophony of sounds, to the pulsating thrumming off the traffic and the night, to the soulful strains of music weaving it all together, an edgy intoxication of the city lives in my heart. My life remains an unfinished canvas. The rhythm of urban grit and beauty define us all. Join me where music and rhythm echo outside of mainstream culture creating a sort of in-perfect or flawed beauty.
