"Relationships are at the core of my images. Relationships between characters and the worlds they inhabit.
The images strive to create a statement that on the surface is engagingly beautiful
but also reveals deeper layers of mystery, grace and story
that the viewer can imagine with emotions and intellect.
My creative process includes shaping real world environments for the dancers to explore and engage, making digital manipulation of these images unnecessary."
I’ve been making things my whole life. Starting with treehouses, forts, and fishponds as a kid to designing and building my house as an adult. Of the many careers I’ve explored, creating played a major role. Nothing scratches the creative itch better than making art. Whether in the studio or on a movie or photography set, there’s nothing else I’d rather be doing.
Give me a minute and I will ponder a variety of interesting subjects: astrophysics, architecture, philosophy, politics, nature, geology, clouds, sunsets, relationships, our universe, particle physics, conflict resolution, storytelling, movies, novels, and biographies. I enjoy digging into topics and seeing how they can inspire a wide range of artistic ideas and fantasies.
I have been surrounded by mentors ever since I was a kid. These mentors helped me with understanding sports, careers and life itself. I value the gift of mentoring and strive to do the same for kids and adults alike whenever the opportunity arises. Whether in a school, on set, or in everyday life, helping others grow is an essential part of humanity.
I dream up ideas, giving them physical form or creating imaginary worlds. I explore with artists to bring the characters to life on set. But you are the final collaborator in the artistic process. You look at a piece and create the story that surrounds the narrative pieces. You may choose different colors, orientation, and form for the interactive pieces.
