I think I have been put in a unique position to be able to travel the world for work and create cool content, but most importantly understand people and places all over the world. Every time I go to work it is something new. Read More>>

I have come to understand the quiet art of co-authoring life with destiny and the divine. To move gently with the rhythms of your own unfolding, sensing that your life is written not by you alone but together with the sacred. This truth may be unseen by many, yet it can shape everything.

I think a lot of people are set in their ways and opinions and dont feel open towards ideas or people that contradict their ways of thinking. Approaching all situations with an openness and a curiosity helps truths be revealed that might not be what you expect. Read More>>

Oh, this one is kind of fun for me, so let’s dive in! If anything, I’d say that I understand deeply that spirituality and quantum science share a surprising number of common similarities, even though they operate on seemingly different planes. Read More>>

I’ve come to understand that hustle culture isn’t what we’ll want to be remembered for when we’re gone. It’s easy to get caught up in late nights and constant work, but in the long run a healthy balance matters so much more. I love my art and my business, but I never want it to cost me time with my kids or my own health. Read More>>

I have a deep sense of metacognition, the ability to observe myself from a third-person perspective. When I’m in a conversation or tricky situation, I have a separate awareness of ‘me’ interacting with the world, almost like watching a mini version of myself. I feel like not many people are aware they can do this. Read More>>

What I understand deeply is that we are only here for a moment. Life is a beautiful thing but its not an everlasting. Knowing this I try to live my best life everyday. I treat people kindly, I show respect, and I give thanks for all thanks. When we leave here we have our name, a start date, a dash, and an end date. Read More>>

I feel that my photographs are about time, the passage of time, and that process inevitably brings one’s own mortality issue to the forefront. I have come to accept my own mortality as inevitable. Anything else is denial. Read More>>

RSZ – I understand people, who they are at their core, even when they’re still hiding from themselves. And I understand myself in the same way, fully and unapologetically. I know the good, the bad, and the ugly within me, and I don’t shy away from it. I see my flaws, my humanness, my evolution, and I still choose love, grace, and compassion for myself. Read More>>

Many people believe artists are simply “born with talent.” Natural ability matters, but without training, practice, and persistence, that ability seldom reaches its full potential. At a cocktail party at a private club on Fifth Avenue, I was sketching portraits of guests when a woman approached me. Read More>>

What I understand deeply is that rest is the goal. In a culture that glorifies hustle and the pursuit of generational wealth, we often forget to ask why wealth matters in the first place. To me, the true purpose of generational wealth should be generational rest. The goal of hard work shouldn’t be more hard work. Read More>>
