BELIEFS.
All stories deserve to be shared, developed, & rewritten. I believe in the strength of story, the power of narrative, and the importance of feeling. As an artist, I am a visual storyteller & seek to transform memories into another medium.

PROCESS.
All works are done in love. I cannot say what my art means – only how it makes me feel: limitless, brave, humbled, present. And I can only hope that it makes you feel those same things too.

MORE!
I love to be around people. I'm an ENFP & have introverted tendencies, but, I draw my energy from others & love to just be in the company of people. I'm slowly finding my footing as an artist & won't pretend to have it all together. I love to create & I love it when what I create allows others to connect & to feel. I don't know color theory & I don't have a fancy art degree (although, I really wish I did!) – I'm VERY self-taught, but believe in the tenacity of starting small & learning through experience.
