For years, I’ve been creating sculptural works from forgotten musical instruments—old pianos, organs, guitars, cymbals, and pieces that once made sound.
Along the way, something unexpected happened.
As I photographed the sculptures, I found myself becoming fascinated by the tiny landscapes hidden inside them. The closer I looked, the more I realized that each sculpture contained another artwork waiting to be discovered.
Today, after nearly two years of refining, photographing, designing, and dreaming...
I’m finally releasing The Studies Collection.
These aren’t reproductions of my sculptures.
They’re photographic studies—moments discovered within the original works. Small invitations to slow down, look closer, and rediscover wonder in the details.
It feels like a full-circle moment.
Years ago, I wanted artwork that celebrated the beauty and mystery of music in a way I couldn’t find anywhere. That search led me to break apart an old piano, and it quietly changed the direction of my life.
Today, that journey continues in a new form.
Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me, collected my work, prayed for me, shared my work, or simply believed in what I was building before there was much to see.
I hope these pieces find homes where they spark curiosity, conversation, and a little more wonder.
The Studies Collection is now available.
