Born in Dayton, Ohio, I found my creative roots intertwined with the architectural landscape of my hometown. Venturing into the realm of fine art, I am expanding my skills and perspectives at the University of Cincinnati, where I delved deeper into my passion for visual storytelling. Inspired by the aesthetics of my community, where historic buildings and old abandoned factories narrate the region’s rich heritage, my work becomes a canvas of nostalgia and reverence. Beyond the urban landscapes, lies a profound connection to the Appalachian soul, ingrained by familial ties and cultural influences. My art is a testament to the intersection of these worlds, weaving together threads of tradition and modernity, inviting viewers to immerse themselves into my perspective condensed into a work of art.
