This piece, Introspection, represents how mindsets can affect how someone is viewed through various perspectives. I started by focusing on the word ‘obsession’ and how it can be represented through art which is when I started to look into appearance and how people are perceived by others. The name Introspection relates to this idea as its definition is, “the examination or observation of one’s own mental and emotional processes.” Using Adobe Illustrator, I was able to create colour palettes and by using specific colours in order to inflict various emotions. The art piece started from a self portrait that was based off of a photograph and was created to keep the colours and highlights of the original image and then edited with different colour schemes. Through the contrasting appearances, it shows how impressions and opinions can drastically change depending on how someone is seen. The film behind the three portraits help show this as it implies that overtime when someone observes and examines another person, whether it is on purpose or not, their opinions will change.

This piece is a custom Vancouver license plate using Adobe Illustrator, featuring a background of the city that I grew up in. This piece shares my love for graphic design and my beautiful hometown as it features a unique version of my artist name and art style to depict a landscape.

These paintings are a depiction of my love for the artistic nature of traditional painting and brushstrokes, where the blending of colors and textures creates captivating visual stories. Taking this passion further, I embraced the world of digital editing to enhance and reimagine these pieces. By combining the organic essence of traditional art with the limitless possibilities of digital tools, I was able to explore new dimensions, refine details, and infuse the works with a unique vibrancy that bridges both mediums. These pieces represent the harmony between tradition and innovation, showcasing my evolving journey as an artist.

This music video was a project inspired by one of my dad’s songs. Filmed with the help of a close friend (featured as the ninja throwing shurikens!), the visuals were brought to life using Adobe After Effects, incorporating dynamic assets and effects sourced from ProductionCrate to enhance the atmosphere and storytelling. The music, composed and performed entirely by Dave Chick, serves as the heartbeat of the video, blending seamlessly with the visuals to create an engaging experience.
