" I do not work in a specific style, therefore experimentation is the key. It is important for me to capture a moment to the best of my ability, and this moment I leave up to the viewer to Interpret. I continue to search for new ideas and experiment with new techniques, styles and media. I furthered my scenic experience creating murals, backdrop and faux techniques while working on industrial theming, stage and film projects."
