Artist Statement

My work at Vanhornemedia is a visual anthology of life’s infinite contrasts, documenting everything from the majestic to the mundane, the earnest to the eccentric. With a lens that captures the soul of humanity and a brush that paints nature’s deep symbols, like the power and presence of bulls, each piece I create is a vignette—a blend of real experiences and conjured scenes. These pieces evolve into personal yet universal narratives, expressed through multiple mediums including acrylics, photography, and woodworking. Inviting onlookers into a world that is both recognizable and mysterious, my compositions maintain a dialogue filled with humor, warmth, nostalgia, and a subtle defiance of norms, all while leaving space for interpretation and wonder, ensuring that each encounter with my work is an invitation to explore the unsaid and the unforgettable.
