My dad, grandma and great-grandma are all artists. Individual and special in their own ways. There wasn't one piece of art hanging on the walls of our home that wasn't crafted by my family's hands. Clustered amongst family photos - growing nostalgic every year of the one that has past and the memories we had made. Needless to say, you would always find me with a pencil or a brush in my hand ever since I could remember. I mostly love realism - painting or drawing animals & people to be exact. I love looking at something and recreating it, capturing all of it's little details through my eyes, through my own self expression.

          I fell in love with the medium of photography when I entered into college. Practicing painting, drawing, design, photo, video - figuring out what I loved most and what I wanted to concentrate in. I felt pulled to the dark room + to the medium of film. Having to be intentional with every frame and waiting for the right moment to be preserved. The stillness of capturing life altered my brain chemistry. I started to see life with an intentional eye, viewing it for its beauty and fleeting moments. When I started to capture my grandparents as my subjects for projects, it was almost an awakening of what I love to do. Capture people in their purest form for who they are and the connection and love they have with the person they cannot live without.  

          To me, everyone’s love deserves to be captured. To cherish memories and hold onto them forever. Because one day, before we know it, life will have passed by. And all we will have left is our photos to remember it.

For starters, there's nothing I'm more passionate about than self expression. I believe we're all here for a purpose, to put out into the world what we love and most desire. For me, that is art. I grew up surrounded by it.
