My parents let me draw on the walls when I was really little. I don’t remember that far back, but I think of it as my artist's origin story.  Before I began Elementary School, my mom sometimes took me to work with her. We'd leave home before sunrise, tune the radio to Coast to Coast, and my mom drove while I’d excitedly listen to the callers discuss their alien abduction stories. Her navy blue 1987 Volvo Station Wagon reeked of paint thinner. My mother touched up cars for a living and could tell me the exact mixture of any color I pointed to. I thought it was a superpower. It is these core memories which I am convinced made me the color-obsessed artist I am today.

My artwork spans mediums to craft surreal depictions of being. My creative process typically involves free-association and stream-of-consciousness explorations of the human condition. Many of my pieces feature my friends posing for me in real time, or stills from movies I enjoy. Additionally, I like to depict my own body as a form of healing and reframing myself within the context of art in order to counteract the contempt that our culture holds for bodies like mine. As a transmasc nonbinary lesbian, I particularly enjoy depicting people who fall outside the hypercapitalistic / cisheteronormative beauty standard. I use vibrant colors and gestural marks to communicate the harmony found amidst the chaos of life.
