In Your Eyes
As a visual artist, my work is about causing an emotional impact on my audience. I have been searching for a medium that allows me to tell my stories. Sublimation onto metal showcases my work like no other medium. Colors and shapes jump off the print, inviting the viewer into the scene. My photographs come to life in a way I have never seen before!
