My love of photography came to me during my first solo trip to Japan back in August of 2010. Back then, I had a small Sony point and shoot. I took pictures of everything! A baby girl walking down the aisle of the Narita Express train, a food cart, shrines, anime figurines and building structures.

While browsing through the hundreds of photos one night I realize a wanted to learn more about photography.

5 years later, I graduated from the Art Institute of Virginia Beach with a Bachelors in Fine Art and Digital Photography with Honors and there is where I learned I can sketch and draw.

Since then, my drawings and pictures have evolved in therapeutic paintings and abstract images.

My website is a gallery of my favorite images I have taken since 2015 to now.
