ARTIST BRIEF

Pic Portfolio Header

I HAVEN’T [YET] endured a 10K race, planted more than a few trees (except for Bonsai), or sailed around the world. Nor have I yet visited Australia or Hong Kong! (They’re both on the list, now that I mention it! ;)

But I have traveled and seen parts of the world that have offered deep experiences among other amazingly beautiful cultures. Took some photos, too.

I’m first-generation Greek-American, Baltimore-raised. Rarely lazy, not a minute without ambition. A smorgasbord of traits: Passionate. Driven. Mercurial. Genuine. An acute observer, always thinking, bit loopy at times. I make things, sometimes make up things. For the love of the kick. To keep you smiling. Tip top. That's me. Yup.

With a fair share of serendipity and faith wherever I go, I aspire to create evoking photographic panoramas; ones that comfortably challenge the mind while delighting the heart.

If anyone were to ask me what I’m most passionate about, I’d say anything that naturally makes my heart flutter. Could be parrots; a film cheered by a good friend; raw almonds; my dear family; and of course, a resplendent subject screaming for attention. I just could not live without friends and family, aspirations, film, color and light!

I deeply believe in comradery, diligence, passion, and power of self.
