My life and, in turn, my art have been defined by moving around many times as a kid. I learned pretty quickly the importance of adaptability and surrounding yourself with passionate people. Whether it's Boston, Texas, DC, or Chicago, I have always been someone who deeply values the outdoors and the adventures that it offers. The outdoors inspire all I do, from the rush of snowboarding to that serene sound of a rapid thrashing against the rocks; nature has a massive influence on my creativity.
