Art has always been the language I turn to when I can’t quite find the words that express how I feel. It gives form to things I’m still figuring out, such as my own emotions, and helps me understand myself and the world around me. I’m a mixed media artist drawn to bold, graphic expressions. My primary mediums include digital art, printmaking, and acrylic marker illustrations. My work often filters pop culture and personal analysis through a vivid, expressive lens, translating influences from music, film, and visual culture into new visual forms.
 

My practice is rooted in turning internal dialogue into external form. Specifically, this entails using digital art and mixed media to navigate the intersections of my own personal experience, cultural influences, and emotional memory. There is one theme that runs through my work, that being childhood. My art tends to focus on returning to the childlike way of learning, where play is promoted over strict, non-hands on learning. This was the very way I learned my love for creating as a child. Not by learning the ways of the ‘old masters’ but by exploring and playing with different mediums that I felt called to me. 
 

In my recent practice I’ve been exploring themes and motifs connected to my childhood and find that my experiences are best visualized through two animals; rabbits and fish. Rabbits explore a more whimsical, feminine, and ethereal side of my work, while the fish focus more on familial roots and masculinity. As I continue my practice I want to explore how I can intertwine these two motifs together.
