My Creative Process: The Artist’s Vision First
AI is just a tool. The real art begins in my imagination.

Every piece of artwork you see here begins long before any software is opened. It starts with a vision — a fully formed story or emotional impression that I carefully construct in my mind. I storyboard mentally: I see the composition, the characters, the light, the mood, the meaning. That vision guides everything.

Artificial Intelligence tools are part of how I render that vision into a shareable form — much like a camera is a tool for a photographer, or a brush for a painter. These tools are powerful, but they are not the originators. They don’t dream, feel, or choose. I do.

Think of it this way: even the most advanced modern camera with all the bells and whistles won’t take a powerful photograph on its own. It still needs the eye, timing, and emotion of the photographer behind the lens. The same is true here. AI can enhance the workflow, but the soul of the image — the story, the symbolism, the design — comes from me.

I use AI to help sculpt images that match the concept I've already envisioned — not to generate random results. I then hand-tune every detail, often enhancing and painting over elements to achieve the final look. The result is art that feels alive and intentional, because it is.

AI doesn't replace the artist. It expands what's possible — when it's guided by imagination, meaning, and a skilled human hand.

Each piece I create is a reflection of something I care about — beauty, mystery, emotion, or memory. That’s what I share with you.
