"Personally I usually donʼt set out to produce art about one subject or another and it is rarely a conscious decision to what will be my next exploration. I am never without a sketchbook and digital camera and I always try to see at the macro level for small shapes, patterns, and details that will fuel a creative spark. Often times these sketches and photos are abandoned for a more prevailing concept but it is this process of a conceptʼs birth, development, routine death, and eventual re-birth that keeps my creative energy flowing and the surprises of artistic output alive. 
My work tends to focus on fashion, style, and the evolution of emotion towards form, color, pattern, and line."
