The quiet magic, beauty and humor hidden in ordinary city textures inspire me. I’m drawn to the unexpected worlds that appear in surfaces most people pass without noticing—swirling puddles, reflective windows, burled wood, shadowed alley doors, weathered walls, sidewalks and discarded urban debris. Within them, I find abstract compositions, fantastical figures and strange landscapes hiding in plain sight.

I am fascinated by the tension between reality and imagination in what I see. Pareidolia—our instinct to find meaning, presence and story in randomness—further shapes my vision. The raw truth of each abstract image is critical – unaltered, not manipulated before or after its shot. The final print is the real world, cropped.

My lifelong engagement with art deepens that impulse, drawing me to images that hover between documentary and lyrical. In overlooked urban textures, I find moments of surprise, mystery and transformation that invite seeing anew.
