"My work is inspired by the need to remove complication and evoke a sense of simplicity and
calm. I focus on subjects lacking human presence or features to provide a snapshot into my
thoughts, interest, and interpretation of my world, leaving mystery and intrigue just as I
experienced in my attempt to process the moment."
