Art has been my passion for as long as I can remember, drawing and doodling since elementary school in the margins of my homework. As my practice has developed over the past couple decades, I find joy in the process of creating art and in the foundation of my community which continues to support me. 

My art is very connected to my spiritual practice in life, where I harness both soft and intense emotions into each of my pieces. Sometimes my process is fast and active, allowing my anger or stress to dissipate with each drag of charcoal or flick of paint or tear of clay, turning those internal emotions into an abstract, visible story. I also tend to draw inspiration from the natural environment around me, often taking photos of bugs, animals, trees, textures, interesting casts of light, and the larger landscape that I wish to incorporate into my work. I enjoy a slow lifestyle, where I take the time to appreciate and spiritually connect with the small beings in nature that get overlooked by the majority. I appreciate and honor them by magnifying and studying their existence, using that information in my artwork. I feel an overwhelming sense of peace in the community that is my natural environment, and wish to convey this tranquility in each of my pieces.
