ARTIST STATEMENT
I am surrounded by Inspiration. I adapt to my surroundings. I create to express and examine the fractals of reality. I dream of the realm where expression is identity and inspiration is currency. It becomes necessity, to work through ideas and challenge concepts of the world by working with others to consciously communicate and collaborate. Using all senses of expression to bring the pendulum to a halt, collapse the wave to create the uncertainty.
With a vast palette of skills and trades, there are endless possibilities of expression. I live in the realm of infinite understanding, the desire to become new and reject the ideas that there is anything that cannot be done or achieved. Using this experience of life to dream big and share that mentality with anyone else becoming entangled in these creative magnetic moments.
The creative constructs within drive me to build community and share inspiration with others. Manifesting visionary projects, festival gatherings, community activities and spaces have been a rewarding passion bringing incredible amounts of inspiration to my work and others. My projects and life work involve thinking that takes local concepts to global thought progress. Developing altruistic formulas and templates that can be absorbed and propagated throughout society.

Artist History
I started my creative path at an early age, with my first inspirations leading to aspirations of creativity emerging in the world of cartoons, puppets, animation and music. While in school I had the joy of being involved with band, theater and art, while eventually choosing Art as a major to prepare for my future. Proceeding high school, I was accepted to Tyler School of Art and began my development as a metals and sculpture major. I then began dreaming of a career in Los Angeles focusing on Special Effects and Set Design. After completing 3 years I was accepted to a newly developing 3D Special Effects School in Los Angeles California called Gnomon School of Visual Effects. I embarked on a career of special effects work, set design and prop making within the Hollywood machine. Highlights included working with notable 3x Oscar winner Greg Cannom at his studio as Mr. Cannoms personal assistant, among other productions of film and TV throughout Southern California. I also started my own production company doing everything from developing indie film projects, art & music events, to interior design and restorations around the Los Angeles area. With a decade worth of real life creative schooling in Hollywood I then embarked on the biggest project yet, a walk across the country that encompassed mental, spiritual and creative lessons I had learned and absorbed. Walking town to town with some good friends on a mission that breathed everything that I was. During this walk I reconnected with myself, the earth and vowed to settled down in a smaller town atmosphere, being out in nature surrounded by mountains and woods and dedicate myself to helping build community and the creative arts. Since then I have been a resident and involved with the local community of Tamaqua,PA now for almost 7 years. I’m always looking for ways to become more involved with helping to spark creativity within individuals and the community.
