WHY TURQUOISE?

 

The color turquoise has always been an inspiration in my life — long before I even knew. I’m certain that turquoise isn’t just a coincidence — it found me.  One of the few, special things my mom kept from my grandfather was a ‘turquoise’ (color and name of) pencil box. She unintentionally came across this pencil box after I started my art business. I knew it had to be more than serendipity because this was the name I chose for my business since this color has always inspired me! Today, my mom has passed the ‘turquoise’ pencil box down to me, and it assures me that I am on the right path.

 

Turquoise has become woven into the fabric of who I am and where my creativity stems from. Turquoise is the spark that leads me to valuing the myriad of colors in our world and my motivation to reach my highest creative potential. When I see this color, I feel inspired to create and bring my vision to life.

 

 My life and art often blend together as I immerse myself in the moment - observing culture and capturing people in their natural environments and admiring landscapes, architecture and details of all sorts.  My creative process is similar for photography and painting - I use light & color in photography to “paint” what I see.

 

PHOTOGRAPHY

 

 My work is most meaningful to me when it aligns with my beliefs and values. It is truly an honor to photograph people who are dedicated to serving our country and making America greater than ever before. 

 

I have served as a photographer for the Trump Campaign since 2018 - photographing President Trump at many rallies across the country. In 2020, I traveled with Ivanka Trump as her official campaign photographer. In 2024, I photographed Team Trump surrogates: Don Jr, Eric & Lara Trump, Ben Carson, Vivek Ramaswamy and President Trump’s cabinet selections: Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Doug Burgum, Kristi Noem, Tulsi Gabbard,  etc.

​

Noteworthy Events: 2025 Presidential Inauguration of Donald J. Trump, 2024 RNC Convention, 2020 Presidential Debates and Roundtables, 2020 Election Night at the White House, etc. I also have had the privilege of photographing the Trump Organization’s various golf and real estate properties.
