Research + Resources

This page will be continually updated with resources I’m exploring as part of my evolving research-creation process. These studies shape my perspective and expand my understanding of the multi-dimensional experience, mystical processes, dreams, metaphysics, quantum physics, and more. As I delve further into the intersection of art and spirituality, my insights into our journey through life, death, and creative intellect become clearer, continuously evolving my work as an artist.

In addition to these topics, I actively explore the work of other artists—learning about their processes, inspirations, and what drives them to create.
