Ever since I can remember I have been a dreamer, a creator, and someone who is fiercely devoted to self expression and kindness. It is with this ideology that I move in the world and have devoted my life to the exploration of art and the creation of hundreds of public art installations within communities all over the world. From Africa to Israel, to small towns along the East Coast and over 100 public art projects in Baltimore and the DMV alone, I have been able to utilize my talents and expertise to spread the power of art.

I transform my photo-based images into interactive and immersive installations often environmental in scope. Playful, they unapologetically appeal to our sense of wonder and invite the viewer into a contemplative space.
