My background in the Art, Media, and Entertainment industry has been one of my greatest joys and adventurous journeys. I have been a published artist and photographer for the last 9 years. My artwork has been sold at retail stores such as Ross, HomeGoods, Kirkland’s, Studio Artique and many more home décor commercial trade design showrooms across the United States.
As a child, I spent hours wandering with a camera, capturing the images in my world. “Pretending” to be a photographer and videographer; with a child’s passion and excitement that eventually led to my vocation as a professional photographer, videographer, and digital artist.
It all started 9 years ago when I decided to enter the Orange Country Fair photo and art contest. One of my photos got 2nd prize and the company that printed my images hired me to help them with some of the artwork and antique prints that were not selling. I assembled images gleaned from collections of rare antique and vintage ephemera. I apply my artistic vision to create striking and unusual artwork. Six months after they hired me, one of the antique prints that I assembled was the 5th best seller and the second one was the 6th best seller.
My personal style and artistic vision capture the attention of home décor across the United States. My artwork and photos were one of the reasons the company expanded their sales to home décor. Retail stores such as Ross, HomeGoods, Kirkland’s, Studio Artique and many more home décor commercial trade design showrooms across the United States.
