Creative Portfolio
Meet me at the intersection of discipline and imagination.
Influenced by the radical minds of Marie Curie, Dalí, and Warhol, she blends experimentation with visual storytelling to push the limits of her trained traditional background. Her practice reflects a rare balance between military precision and emotional depth, capturing the shifting textures of reality through an expressive lens.
My perspective as an artist is shaped by a remarkable course. Serving in the United States Navy as a geologist, engineer, and Gatling gunner, I developed a solid discipline and worldview that continues to inform my creative process. Since relocating to New York City, I’ve applied this multifaceted experience to painting, sculpture, film, and documentary, producing technically grounded and conceptually bold work with a voice that stands apart in contemporary art.
I have found a unique balance between my technical background in science, engineering, mathematics, and technology and my passion for artistic expression. By merging these two areas, I have opened up a wealth of creative possibilities and a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of art and the natural world. With my studio Noonlight, LLC, as creative director, I can bring any vision to life in an enthusiastic collaborative setting.
