My Work

Like cascading threads of digital code, green against a backdrop of black, I distinguish the world around me in lines and algorithmic shapes. I find geometry in everything, capturing a visual language that is both aesthetically beautiful and meaningful.

Until very recently, I was not aware that living in Brussels during my formative years would impact my perception so deeply. But living abroad, young and impressionable, had a profound effect on my curiosity and instilled a healthy fascination with my surroundings – something that’s evident in my work to this day.

My work reflects the environment, the natural world, and the structures we spend our lives in. I celebrate the familiar and nostalgic. I see the details easily overlooked. I aim to break down nature's lessons in minimal abstracts.

I am a soloist, a true sole practitioner, and this is my gallery. I represent my own work, whether directly or through one of my showroom partners. I oversee and participate in all aspects of my work and gallery.

My formal education is in Marketing from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN and I hold an MBA from the University of Colorado Denver. I am passionate about supporting other small businesses and inspiring others to follow their own entrepreneurial dreams.

It’s my mission to constantly improve and nurture my craft, to create at the highest level, and to share my photography with the world. I aim to create beautiful, meaningful, hand-crafted pieces, from which, even casual observers draw beauty and inspiration.

I have embraced the idea of minimalism in how I live, how I consume, and how I prioritize my time. You will notice themes of minimalism, simplification, meditation, deceleration, digital detoxification, negative space, and serenity in my work.

I encourage you to connect with me. I am online nearly every day and I enjoy connecting with others. The connection economy has changed my life and today I have friends and clients all over the world. We are truly living in remarkable times.

I look forward to meeting you. Thank you for visiting my gallery!
