A Bit About Me
As Metamorphvic, my art is a celebration of transformation and individuality. My work is deeply rooted in the belief that art is not just a visual experience but a powerful means of storytelling and connection.

I served in the U.S. Army as an Intelligence Analyst, where I honed my skills in data analysis, strategic planning, and critical thinking. I was responsible for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting complex intelligence data to support military operations and decision-making processes. My role required a keen eye for detail, the ability to work under pressure, and a commitment to delivering actionable insights that enhanced mission success. I collaborated with cross-functional teams to develop comprehensive intelligence reports, contributing to the safety and effectiveness of our operations. This experience equipped me with strong analytical skills and a disciplined work ethic that I bring to every project.
I worked at 24-hour Fitness where this role enhanced my communication skills and ability to inspire others, while also deepening my understanding of fitness and nutrition. All while I continued to gain experience as a professional photographer, I specialized in capturing outdoor scenes and dynamic portraits using both natural light and advanced flash. My goal was to tell a story and evoke emotion. The portfolio I created spans a wide range of styles, from vibrant landscapes to intimate, candid moments, showcasing my versatility and creative vision. Working with diverse clients, I developed strong interpersonal skills and a keen eye for detail, ensuring every shot is executed to perfection.
As the creative force behind MetamorphVic, I have cultivated a brand that merges art, storytelling, and community engagement. My journey as a caricature artist has allowed me to bring joy and energy to corporate events, private gatherings, festivals, and live experiences, creating on-the-spot, hand-drawn portraits that capture personalities with a dynamic and expressive style.
Beyond live drawing, I have expanded MetamorphVic into a thriving artistic business by:
-
Offering commissioned artwork, translating clients' ideas into unique, meaningful pieces.
-
Developing a clothing and merchandise line, blending my cartooning style with messages of positivity and transformation to inspire and uplift.
-
Showcasing my work through photography, murals, and creative collaborations, further reinforcing my commitment to storytelling through visual mediums.
-
Building a strong local presence by partnering with small businesses and brands, fostering a culture of artistic empowerment and entrepreneurship.
This evolving journey has sharpened my business acumen, leadership, and networking skills, positioning me as both an artist and a creative entrepreneur. Through MetamorphVic, I aim to continuously push artistic boundaries while inspiring others to embrace their own transformations.
