I am a self-taught emerging artist originally from San Diego, California, with a strong love for reading and descriptive illustrative works.

As a result of these influences, my work is largely narrative, focused on fantastical elements, and aims to connect the viewer through visual story.

Each piece works to reflect the quiet parts of the soul, whether that is the inner child or the existential questions which quietly develop during our life in its various stages. My work can be a juxtaposition of exploring heavy themes like mortality, purpose, identity, and societal pressures and then in the same space be fantastical, light, and fanciful.

It is a body of work that admittedly showcases my ultimate desire to portray the purest forms of childlike happiness, story, and whimsy. However, struggling with the heavy themes noted earlier, I aim to create shared understanding through visual narrative with what I struggle to understand myself. Hoping if possible, to create discourse.

I work primarily in charcoal and oil paint and have showcased my work previously in the PNW, at Proctor Art Gallery in Tacoma, Washington. Currently based out of Georgia, I can be found dreaming of my next story, or traveling the world for my next inspiration.
