Artist Statement

As an artist, I'm inspired by my love for meteorology, marine science, and exploring nature. Since childhood, I've always enjoyed being immersed in nature, snorkeling, and tracking storms that come through South Florida. In this portfolio I explore the questions, "How can I inspire viewers to appreciate the beauty found in nature's diverse ecosystems?" and "How does the environment impact our lives?". I aim to create powerful artworks that capture the viewer's attention using bold colors, intricate patterns, and rich surface textures.
