I lean heavily on my background as a storyteller and writer to guide my inspiration. From the very first day we met I spoke at length about how important it is to write your own story and create your own foundation. I wanted this project to represent my recent choice to leave corporate America and pursue a creative career and more creative outlets. The self portraits represent what you can lose as an artist when surviving the world around you begins to take priority to the passion that’s supposed to drive you instead. While the details and portrait outside are a small reclamation of not only time but whimsy and identity.
