Artist Statement
My artwork is mainly composed of 3-D still images and rendered animation videos. I enjoy recreating 3-D worlds based on real locations that I have visited before and would like to see. These worlds can vary from my own room to a cityscape, to a country I have yet to travel to. I utilize Adobe Suite and Autodesk to let my artwork come to life. I draw inspiration from locations around the world and the foreign languages I speak. Each language I know lets me view the world in a distinct way, so I can draw inspiration from my linguistic skill and passion for travel. This allows me to create many 3-D environments. I make environmental artwork because it allows me to travel the world at any time I desire. It allows me to have a visual representation of my passion for foreign languages and travel.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sounds like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.
