Artist Statement

Art is the rhythm that underpins the entirety of the human experience, a force both intimate and infinite. As an artist and writer, I see myself as a translator, turning whispers into words, visions into stories, and emotions into something that lingers on in the collective. My work is an offering to the mysteries, a way to engage with the vastness of what it means to be alive.

My storytelling often weaves together the poetic and the grounded, exploring themes of surrender, connection, and transformation. I am deeply drawn to the threads that bind generations of humanity, the unboundedness and oneness of the human experience. Through my work, I delve into how we are connected, both through the line of people who came before us and the shared humanity that links us all. These connections, seen and unseen, form the foundation of my stories, inviting audiences to recognize themselves within the vast web of existence.

Fatherhood has deeply shaped my artistry, grounding me in the beauty and vulnerability of being a witness to growth. It has taught me the delicate balance between guiding and letting go, a lesson that echoes in my creative process. My connection with my wife fuels my understanding of love as a transformative force, infusing my narratives with authenticity and depth.

As a filmmaker, my role is to illuminate the shadows and celebrate the light, to craft stories that resonate beyond the screen. My work reflects my fascination with duality and the human spirit’s resilience. Each story is an invitation to dive deeper, to see the world through fresh eyes, and to find meaning in its unfolding.

My strength is taking personal truths and transforming them into shared experiences. Whether exploring the supernatural, the meditative, or the deeply human, my stories are always rooted in connection; to the self, to others, and to something greater.

I aim to create a body of work that heals and inspires. I want my stories to be a sanctuary for those seeking meaning, a mirror for those yearning to be seen, and a map for those navigating the uncharted. Through art, I hope to remind us all that life is already happening, and the flow of it, when surrendered to, is where we find our greatest truths.
