My journey has been one of transformation and purpose, bridging the gap between art and faith. I was raised in Burlington, NJ, with significant time spent in the streets of New York City, Trenton, and Philadelphia. These places shaped my love for art, storytelling, and human connection, but my path wasn't always clear.

By the age of sixteen, I found myself chasing status, fleeting pleasures, and indulgence, only to be left feeling empty and questioning the meaning of it all. It was during this time of chaos that I turned to the life of Jesus Christ. The teachings of Jesus Christ not only gave me solace, but also revealed a calling to use my creative gifts for something greater.

With the guidance of art teachers like Joseph Dvorak and Thomas Camp, I began to embrace art as my language for storytelling. Photography, drawing, sculpture, and poetry became my tools to capture life’s beauty and struggles. However, while studying at Parsons School of Design, I wrestled with the tension between the secular art world and my desire to honor God. It wasn’t until I encountered 2 Corinthians 5:20, “We are ambassadors for Christ” that my purpose became clear.

After college, I moved to Cincinnati to serve at OTR Living Water Church, where I spent three years immersed in ministry and community. That time was formative, deepening my faith, shaping my artistic vision, and rooting me in a city that I have come to love. Cincinnati’s dedication to art, community, and love resonates deeply with me, and it continues to inspire my work.

My work is a blend of artistry and faith. I often hear my photography compared to the visual storytelling of Ansel Adams, my poetry to the spirituality of Bob Marley, and my creative energy to the raw power of Basquiat. Whether I’m behind the lens, writing verses, or composing music, my mission is the same: to bring others closer to Christ through creativity.
