Artistic Statement

• Deeper meaning isnt only found in tragedy and
  destruction. We are surrounded by the Bringers of
  Bad News, the media. My images are the attempt to
  portray the fleeting highlights of hot pink joy
  and peaceful aquamarine on a backdrop of dismal
  gray and black. Behind every dark corner and
  lipsticked frown, there is a bit of the
  antimedia. In capturing that moment, I want to
  find a burst of joy in the midst of this day of
  gloom.
• My work is simple. The photographs that I
  capture are a statement on the complexity of
  simplicity. The images are of the hidden moments
  inside a more negative setting. A smile has the
  power to conquer despair. They are meant for us
  to take a moment to be stilled to watch the joy
  that usually passes us by unnoticed as we tangle
  ourselves up in politics and war.

Biography

• The one constant thing in my childhood was the
  sunlight. I was born in the sunshine state, moved
  to a sunny town named Sunnyvale, and finally
  found myself amidst the most bright and easygoing
  people I know. Thus, my life is founded and fed
  with uplifting concepts.
• I am an explorer. When I create my work I am
  not afraid of rolling around in the mud if that
  is what it takes to achieve the image I desire.
  One of my major inspirations is nature I find
  myself drifting toward trees and plants until I
  catch myself.
• I began to create art because it made me happy
  I continue because it makes a positive affect on
  viewers. I find the universal aspects of my work
  are color, solidity, and dominance these help me
  to express my self and make a bolder statement to
  both the viewer and myself. I like photography
  for its brutal honesty it shows how things
  really are. There is only a certain extent to
  which I can alter the image when and after I take
  it it is in essence the truth.
