White is an interesting color, and I think it's overlooked. I see a lot of freedom and potential with white. I want to explore the overlooked. I went to school to become a painter. I understand the importance of composition and color, but I want to take what I know and make some changes. I don't want to change just for the sake of being different, but I believe I have the right to see things through my own eyes. We all have the freedom to imagine. Art is freeing to me, and I think I was made to create. It helps me understand this world we live in. Photography, painting, designing, and creating are my favorite means of communication. I want to encourage people to change the way they view themselves and their surroundings. Photography excites me, and I believe it's something definitely worthwhile.
