ABOUT

ABOUT

Some things are only visible when you slow down.
 

I make work that rewards that slowing. Images built within historical painting traditions — period in style, atmosphere, convention — until something surfaces that doesn’t belong.
Eyes that return your gaze across centuries.
A hand holding tension that the era would have suppressed.
A tilt of the head carrying interior life, the composition was never meant to show.

 

The disruption is the work.
The historical accuracy is the setup.

I work at the threshold between photography and painterly rendering —
close enough to realism to draw you in, close enough to painting to make you uncertain what you’re seeing. That uncertainty slows down the speed at which the smallest human signals become visible.

Micro-expressions.
Hand tension.
The direction of a glance that changes everything.

​Original music runs alongside the visual work — not as accompaniment,
but as the same investigation reaching through a different sense.

 

I’m a multidisciplinary artist and musician trained in music performance and English literature at Washington University in St. Louis. Through The House of Curiosity, I teach artists to develop their own visual storytelling using generative AI tools.
This work is moving toward immersive installation —
where scale,
darkness,
and the viewer’s physical presence do what screens cannot.

If you’re interested in showing this work, I’d like to hear from you.

Every film has its own score, composed for the work and woven through it.  The music doesn't accompany the image, it shares the same lungs.  Listen to the collection on Spotify and iTunes.

The work doesn't have to stay on screen. Wear it, hang it, live with it.
COMING SOON

With a keen eye for detail, I refine footage to create seamless edits that amplify the emotional impact of each story.
