Have camera, will travel.

I love "Wow!" I love sharing "Wow!" This was a moment to pull over and go exploring. Beauty was calling my name.

Beauty was telling me that it took millions of years to bring me forth to see this. Beauty was showing me in the grand scheme of things that my life was as thin and small as the highway winding through an ageless stage on which my appearance would be most brief.

Thanks for this beautiful life. I've been revisiting some of my landscape work recently and thinking about it differently—not only as individual photographs, but as large-format fine art for homes, hotels, offices and architectural spaces.

This is one of the images that convinced me to pursue that direction more seriously.

I'm pleased to share that I was recently invited by Singulart, one of the world's leading online fine art galleries, based in Paris, to join their international roster of artists.
What made this invitation especially meaningful was that their curatorial team reached out directly after reviewing my work and wrote:
"The way you blend fine-art photography with digital painting to explore continuity, identity, and cultural memory really aligns with what resonates on Singulart. Our collectors are often drawn to works that tell layered stories and reflect both personal and collective heritage."
They also invited me to join under special conditions, bypassing their standard admissions process.
My artist page is already live, and it is currently being updated with my latest work, recent exhibitions, and new collections as the onboarding process continues. Over the coming weeks you'll see many additions, so I hope you'll stay tuned as the page evolves.
If you'd like to follow the journey, I'd be honored if you would visit and follow my Singulart page. A growing community of followers helps demonstrate interest in my work and supports its visibility as the page continues to develop. If you know someone who collects contemporary fine art, I would also be grateful if you shared the page with them.
Thank you for being part of this next chapter. Your encouragement and support mean more than you know.

I'm honored to have Bearer of the Pattern included in Layers: Exploring Depth in Contemporary Art, presented by the San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center in partnership with TAG Gallery in Los Angeles.
It is a privilege to exhibit alongside such an accomplished group of artists whose work pushes creative boundaries through innovative, layered, and deeply personal approaches to contemporary art. Spending time with this exhibition has been both inspiring and humbling.
My sincere thanks to the San Fernando Valley Arts & Cultural Center, TAG Gallery, and juror Kimie Joe for including my work in this outstanding exhibition.

Working on Bearer of the Pattern, recently accepted into the TAG Gallery exhibition Layers: Exploring Depth in Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
My process often begins with photography, but the final image evolves through layering, digital painting, tonal shaping, and reconstruction. Using the Huion tablet has opened a more painterly level of control—allowing me to work between photography and painting in ways that feel increasingly aligned with the direction of my fusion art practice.
I think of these works less as documents and more as acts of witnessing—where memory, identity, symbolism, and atmosphere are built gradually through layers.
Grateful for the continuing encouragement and support.
