First and foremost I’m an artist. I began drawing, and progressed to painting in aerosol, and oil on canvas. I then began doing graphic design, for various clothing brands like 26 Red, Jnco Jeans, and more. I continued painting, and began training in Impressionism with master painter C.W. Mundy. After pursuing many forms of visual arts, for over twenty years, I made my foray into video production. My passion for imagery seamlessly transitioned into moving pictures. I also believe my background in graphic design, and fine art have given me a keen sense of composition.
