Art is more than just a job to me. Using my talent for art to help others pursue their passions gives my life purpose.
I strive to make art that is unique, meaningful, and unconventional. I often make commercial pieces, but I prefer to make art that is personal to my story. I work with a variety of mediums including graphic design, woodworking, sculpture, relief printmaking, drawing, beading, and painting.
​
I am inspired by artists such as Van Gogh and Picasso who invented new art styles and were not afraid to tell the world about their mental-health struggles. I hope to do the same.
​
I have struggled with mental health my whole life, and more recently physical disabilities. I have a soft spot for anyone who doesn’t fit the ‘norm’ and I want to help in any way that I can.
​
Authenticity is important to me because it inspires vulnerability, reduces stigma, and brings people closer together. I hope that by sharing my story, people who go through similar struggles will come out of the shadows, help each other feel less alone, and help the world understand the importance of change.
