Art has always been a part of my life in one way or another, academically and recreationally. Living a life of self expression through appearance, personality and through multi-dimensional visual arts, literary works, and photography. Over the years, art has carried me through different eras of my life- the highs, the lows and the moments in between. Each time I returned to creating and discovering a new way to grow and connect with my thoughts.

I make art because it helps me say the things I can’t always put into words somedays. In my practice I look for creative ways to draw and paint ideas, familiar objects and concepts. Providing visualization and conceptualizing deeper perceptions so I can work through them and so others can see a piece of themselves in it too. 
 

My mediums are acrylic, charcoal, pencil, and marker on canvas, fabric, and paper. Blending styles of pop art, graffiti, expressionism, realism, and surrealism (figures, environments, objects, banners, murals, fonts and patterns). Literary works consisting of narrative, descriptive, persuasive, creative, objective/ subjective and poetic styled pieces. Photography of people, environments, objects, graffiti and conceptual shots. Practicing arts from youth to present, looking to challenge artistic ability.

​

My pieces shift between loud and bold, while sometimes quiet and reflective. Tossing in a fifty-fifty perspective on concepts and emotions. 

More than anything, art is how I challenge and show up for myself and for others. Sharing connection, resilience, and a reminder that none of us are alone. My hope is that when someone sees my work, it gives them a moment of recognition and comfort, but inspiration each day.
