As I reflect on the past year, I find myself deeply thankful and slightly awed by the amount of artwork I created—and the incredible recognition it received. Creativity bloomed during a year that wasn’t without its challenges, notably my mother’s health journey. Thankfully, she’s on the mend now, and through it all, my art kept me grounded, inspired and in touch with amazing community.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to SandyToes2211, CCC Museum, Lily White, and so many others who took my art all the way to Bali. Special shoutout to Melisa Harder, Yani and Jodi Deros, Dean Landsman, Jen Nash, Jacqueline Strayer, Tom Lombardo, the Pulitzer Family, Joyce Spataro, Beyond Darkness sponsors, and all my amazing collectors. Grateful to the AI Art Today crew, Loop Art Critique, Blac AI Artist Incubator, thelink, AI Salon with Kyle and Leah, and Rad TV for championing artistic innovation.

Reflecting on the past four years since I began incorporating AI into my creative process and workflows for my art and professional work, I have to say this year has been outstanding. But I’ll be honest – it’s been quite the marathon of creation, marketing, and management. And I’m feeling it. I realized the need for a business partner. So, if you know someone with business acumen, marketing prowess, and a creative heartbeat, let’s chat! Together, I believe we can build not just a business, but a legacy that shapes the future of art.
I’m eager to expand my creative horizon by partnering with brands or fellow creators on exciting content creation projects. Whether it’s crafting unique visual narratives, integrating innovative AI tools, or embarking on groundbreaking multimedia ventures, I’m all in! If you’re a brand looking to inject some creativity into your campaigns or a creator looking to collaborate on something extraordinary, let’s connect and explore the possibilities. Together, we can craft stories that not only captivate but also inspire. Reach out if you see a potential synergy—I’m excited to see what we can create together!
Finally, my journey with AI art tools has helped me discover what I truly love. This is all reflected in my portfolio. This year, I’ve honed my toolkit to include Gemini, Copy AI, Pictgen, Midjouney, Krea, Flux, Luma Lab/Dream Machine, RunwayML, Udio, Suno, ElevenLabs, and Adobe. Learned to incorporate AR and CR with XR Creator and Artivive.
✨Here’s to more creativity and collaboration in the coming year! Looking forward to connecting with you all.
