Painting is at the core of my creative work. It’s the place where everything slows down, where I can focus, reset, and just enjoy the process of making something from nothing.

Most of my pieces are created using a combination of spray paint and brushwork. I like the contrast between the two—the softness and control of a brush against the unpredictable, atmospheric effects of spray paint. Sometimes I lean fully into one or the other, but the balance between them is where a lot of the energy comes from.

You’ll also find elements of digital mixed media woven into some of the work. These additions aren’t meant to replace the physical process, but to expand on it—adding another layer to the visual story.

A lot of these paintings come from places I’ve been, things I’ve seen, and ideas that stick with me. But more than anything, painting is something that grounds me. It’s where I feel the most present, the most focused, and honestly, the most at peace.

I’ve been working with polymer clay since 1993, returning to it over the years as one of my most hands-on and expressive mediums. Much of this work is built using the millefiori technique—creating detailed images within clay canes, then slicing and assembling them into larger designs that are shaped into finished pieces.

These works combine precision and spontaneity, turning small, intricate patterns into sculptural forms. I’ll also be adding tutorial videos here soon, sharing the process and techniques behind how these pieces come together.

My music lives in the world of electronic dance—built on a computer, shaped by rhythm, texture, and experimentation. I started out using Fruity Loops, later studied production with Reason, and now create everything in Logic, which is my main tool for composing and producing.

While the foundation is EDM, the influences are wide-ranging. There are traces of electronic music, 70s punk energy, the improvisational spirit of the Grateful Dead, and even the timeless feel of classic artists like Sinatra. Those different directions come together in ways that aren’t always obvious, but they shape the sound.

Each track is an exploration—layering beats, melodies, and atmosphere into something that moves, evolves, and reflects a mix of styles rather than a single lane.

Photography has always been part of my life. Growing up, both my mom and dad were deeply into it—my dad even had a darkroom where he developed his own photos, and my mom continues to share her work through her own photography website. Being around that from an early age naturally stayed with me.

For me, photography is simple—I just enjoy capturing moments as I see them. Light, atmosphere, timing… those small things that turn an everyday scene into something worth holding onto.

I never really set out thinking I’d share my photos publicly. That only came later, after people started encouraging me to put them out there. This page is a collection of those moments—things I saw, liked, and decided to capture.
