A Closer Look Reveals
A Closer Look Reveals is a deeply personal album that begs the listener to do exactly that: take a closer look. Whether it is taken literally in regards to seven portraits by the provocative Austrian painter, Egon Schiele in The Egon Schiele Pieces, or more personally in pieces like, All of My Unrequited Loves, You Called Me On My Birthday, Forgive Me, The Witching Hour, or Letters of Recommendation for New Romance.

This is an album about love, romance, heartbreak, unrequited loves, sensuality, personal demons, personal growth, moving on, starting over...and the confusion, frustration, and beauty that accompanies all of that.

Song for Uncertain Times
Song for Uncertain Times is a track from the album A Closer Look Reveals. 

Letters of Recommendation for New Romance
When in doubt, write it out.

This is the first single from the forthcoming album, A Closer Look Reveals. xo.

Suggestion Box: Art
This album came about with a call for submissions. I reached out to my friends and followers on Instagram/Twitter asking them for works of art that inspire them. I then whittled it down to 5 artworks, adding a 6th myself. It turned into a fun, inspiring, challenging, and meaningful quarantine project that I completed May - July 2020.
