Collaborating With Juliane Troicki
Juliane Troicki asked if I’d be interested in collaborating on an exhibition. After hearing her ideas, I knew this was the perfect opportunity for me.

Read MoreArtist’s Journey Through The Fog
Fog comes in many forms. Therefore, it can be found anywhere from our brains to the environment. After living in this fog for nearly two decades, I refuse to remain in the midst of it.
