Artist Statement

My work is both conceptual and an ongoing documentation of my life. Art has become an extension in which I can express complex, visceral emotions I can’t exactly put into words. I am especially drawn to portraiture, whether it be myself or others. Being able to share a small part of their respective stories is driving force behind it. I have the privilege of encapsulating precious moments into tangible memories.

My work primarily centers around mental health, queer identity, navigating interpersonal relationships and what it means to exist in today’s world. I believe vulnerability is one’s greatest strength. I also love to really push the envelope and test my own abilities. I’m always hungry for more.

Ultimately, I strive to be grateful and mindful of the world around me. I am so privileged to live in such a beautiful world that is just waiting to be captured.
