Poetry becomes a drawing, a drawing becomes sculpture, sculpture becomes poetry. As humans we live in parallel universes. It is this parallel universe that becomes the focus of my creativity. Memories, dreams, and actions stimulate bold colored pieces that ex- tend the imagination and force the viewer to reach within their own subconscious and memory bank.

As humans we live in parallel universes. It is this parallel universe that becomes the focus of my creativity. Memories, dreams, and actions stimulate bold colored pieces that ex-tend the imagination and force the viewer to reach within their own subconscious and memory bank.

My sketches attempt to not only capture architectural fluidity but also the poetry and emotion within architecture.
