About the Work & Mission
I strive to uplift creatives, organizations, and individuals of all types and backgrounds to support them in their creative practices and passions. Whether this is through art, design, cuisine, agriculture, wellness, journalism, writing, fashion, or more – I view the spectrum of creativity as an expansive world and wish to assist anyone with the resources they may need to pursue whatever that passion may be. Accessibility to the creative practice for those who create, as well as accessing the work made by these individuals is my focus. I am a firm believer that creativity in all forms betters our communities and the world around us.
The essence of my artwork is to preserve a moment, however fleeting. It is an attempt to hold still these feelings, to preserve an impression of time, and to remember the past by attempting to keep those often quiet moments alive. It is my hope to look back at my artwork and think, “I remember this day, this month, this year” - and not lose those seemingly mundane memories in the fog of time. I strive to preserve the past, to learn from it, and to progress forward. Everything is part of an ever-evolving and growing practice that I learn from every day, where mistakes and successes are regarded equally.
