Have you ever walked down the street and found yourself looking at the different textures on markings on the wall and wonder what is their story?

Do you think about the stories that lead the people you come across to arrive at that exact moment you see them in?

As I walk down any street, regardless of the location, I’m looking at how the shadows wrap around objects, the unique visual clutter that gives the place that exact feeling, and whether the space is abundant with people or barren.

My illustrations describe my relationship with the world around me, often capturing urban life and figures in happenstance moments that would otherwise be lost. I look deeper into moments most people would not find interesting, but for me, they’re fascinating I find the essence of the most bland location and show its charm.

if reading this makes your imagination run wild with possibilities, you’re who I want to collaborate with to create my next work. Don’t hesitate to reach out for a commission, a house portrait, or even to just chat about our world.
