I am mostly a self-taught artist and have had a passion for art since I could hold a pencil.

​

As an artist with Mental Illness, I have kept messy journals and made my process one of evolving pieces and concepts over years by revisiting them as motivation ebbs and flows and inspiration intensifies or softens. From first contemplating identity in my early work to finding peace from the chaos of both my inner and outer life I have been exploring art as a surprising, challenging, and healing past-time.

 

My intention with my art has grown over the years to become something that reaches into my dreams and forces me to face my fears. I’ve been blessed to have been able to build my skills in both the traditional and digital realms of art. That practise has mirrored my life as I now work to combine those realms just as I have with my physical identity and my digital one, to create something that is authentic to me.

 

My goal with my art is to bring a sense of joy, whimsy, and compassion for those around us. I hope it can make people laugh, or feel peace and happiness, as that is my intention.​
