About

I discovered early in life that I could think in images—and paint or sketch what I couldn’t say. Creating has always been the most honest way I know to connect with myself and others. My work is rooted in storytelling through layered, often enigmatic imagery. I’m drawn to pieces that ask the viewer to pause, look closer, and form their own interpretations. Beneath the surface, my work carries emotion—love, lust, passion, loneliness, fear—translated through movement, texture, and symbolism. Music is central to my process. Rhythm, lyrics, and melody spark the first visual ideas; the beat shapes the palette, the words guide narrative, and the sound influences texture and motion. Music doesn’t accompany the work—it drives it. Living and traveling internationally has shaped my perspective and expanded my visual language. I’m equally committed to community engagement, having participated in live painting events supporting organizations including the American Heart Association and Children’s Cancer Network. For me, painting is both grounding and exploratory—a rhythmic practice that challenges me to grow while creating work that resonates emotionally and visually.
