Every painting, drawing, print, or sculpture I create exists as a fantastical experience in one way or another. My works ask the question “do you understand?” Informed by people, experiences, and emotions from my life, I present imagery as experiences that we have all faced. Anatomical references showing the inner, physical body as a reflection of a more metaphorical, emotional interior currently dominate my work. Saturated, high contrast colors populate my compositions, all of which carry an air of magical realism. Each piece ranges in theme from thoughts on bodies and our existence in them, to mental and emotional health, to the span of experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community. No matter how confusing, astounding, or ungrounded, my compositions inspiring sentiments like, “I’ve been there before,” or “I wish that were me,” is the ideal way I wish for others to experience my work.
