A few years ago, I began to blend my passions together with fitness and art. Trying to capture a perspective of the human body in an image that shows the athlete/dancer in a moments of beauty, strength, and emotion. Sort of a modern day Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci, their intensive studies and styles inspired me to follow my journey and reinvent my own style. Filled with gestures, lines, shapes, form, and value, each piece brings me closer to discovering the amazing relationships of the human anatomy and human emotions. Out of the darkness I show the light that reveals the beauty and strength of each athlete and dancer.
