STYLE
INSPIRATIONS
MOTIVATIONS
In addition to painting, I enjoy creating sculptures, making short films, and creating bold 3D displays. All of my work aims to engage people with nostalgia, creativity, and curiosity.
​
Through my work, I aim to achieve a deeper understanding of human emotions and the soul. As I experiment with mediums, I hope to find connection with my community, to honor my queerness, and to open pathways of emotional connection by using my mind and body to create.
​
I find beauty in perfectly imperfect objects. I find inspiration in observing patterns of predictability in the actions that are naturally unpredictable.
