Welcome to my website!
I am so happy you are here.
Let's start with why I make art: Art has been a safe space for self-exploration since I can first remember. When I create a piece of art I get to explore my inner psyche and express all of myself. Making art gives me a space to reflect and let the questions of my being permeate. The darkness and the light have a place to fill. I touch all of soft and hard spots of who I am while I create, through whatever medium I chose.
