Artist Statement
As a queer artist, I am committed to creating narratives that ignite inspiration and challenge perceptions. I channel everything I see in the world through this lens, intentionally challenging and contradicting established societal values, structures, and traditions. I want my audience to think about their own relationship to these dominant narratives.
My styles vary - as a visual communicator I choose the best materials and tools to fit the message I’m trying to convey. I write and draw to process my family history and generational trauma, my sobriety, and self love. I hope that by sharing my own personal journeys, others may feel safe to do the same.
