Hello there!
Nice to meet you. Who am I, you ask? I’m flattered by your interest.

Let me tell you a bit about myself.
I’ve decided to try my hand as a full-time artist.
I am switching from my profession as a data analyst.
For a full dive on why I switched, check out my blog post on the topic!
I’m at the very start of this new artistic venture of mine.
I’m hoping you’ll follow along for the ride as I set out to develop my artistic style and explore art-making as a livelihood.
colorful.
Using color theory to inform my decisions, I always aim to use color as a form of expression rather than just a means to replicate life.
Juxtaposing colors in order to create harmony or tension allows me to create vibrant works that can be infused with symbolism.
unique.
Capturing the art-making process in my work is a major tenet of my artistic style.
I use various techniques and mediums to hint at the multiple steps and layers that are necessary for the final product.
homages.
To pay homage means to do something to honor a person or thing.
Using art to communicate respect for its subject is a task I find very rewarding.
I create abstract portraits using various materials, vibrant colors, and a unique artistic style to pay great respect to a loved one, upon request.
Very slowly and painfully, over many years, and after much reflection.
