ABOUT ME

Through the transformative power of web3, I've discovered a newfound avenue to showcase my art—a journey that once seemed impossible.
After life and health challenges led my wife and me to embrace life on the road in an RV, I turned these moments into opportunities for healing and artistic exploration.
Immersed in travel, I've captured the raw beauty of our world through photography, videography, writing, music creation, and more. This nomadic lifestyle has unveiled the treasures of my past work, some dormant for over a decade, now finally finding a platform for sharing.
My love for music has been a lifelong passion, cultivated in a small town in Northern New York, and this chance to share my creative endeavors fills me with a newfound excitement. I'm thrilled to present my recent and past creations, each piece a testament to my lifelong dedication to artistic expression.

ABOUT MY PROJECT

My projects, 'One Way,' 'Look Up,' and 'In The Fall,' converge music and visual storytelling to embody distinct emotional landscapes. 'One Way' documents a cross-country journey with my wife Crystal, capturing the essence of life's choices through captivating footage shot using premier equipment like the BMPCC4K and Sirui anamorphic lens. This instrumental track and its accompanying video prompt reflection on the diverging paths we encounter, urging viewers to contemplate their singular journey.

'Look Up' and 'In The Fall' delve into the captivating beauty of a majestic willow tree, urging viewers to pause and absorb their surroundings. These videos symbolize the significance of shifting perspectives and preparing for life's transitions. 'Look Up' invites observers to break away from life's haste, guiding their gaze skyward to appreciate nature's grandeur, while 'In The Fall' offers a poignant metaphor for impending changes, visualized through the struggle of light during a fall sunset.

In these projects, the focus is on stirring profound emotions and prompting deep contemplation. The special renditions of 'Look Up' and 'In The Fall' employ cutting-edge technology to immerse you in an emotional journey. They're not just about stunning visuals—they're designed to resonate with your feelings, providing a serene space for quiet reflection. These videos seek to instill a sense of calm, inviting introspection and allowing your emotions to guide you to a peaceful sanctuary amid life's bustling rhythm.

HOW WILL I USE THE PRIZE?

I plan to use the prize to establish financial stability while diving into coding during the upcoming winter. Simultaneously, as I craft new Audiovisual Art, I'll thoroughly map out my ventures set for presentation at EthDenver 2024. If I'm honored as a speaker, my aim is to guide artists in exploring the array of tools available within the blockchain space.

These ventures will form the foundation for an innovative startup merging AR, gaming, and Blockchain technology. Additionally, I aim to lead a unique project redefining the Airbnb model, alongside offering grants and tailored housing to specifically nurture and bolster the artistic community.
