I invite you to have a look at my paintings and drawings:
Processing my emotions through art
Themes
I draw a lot of inspiration from processing my own emotional journey, observing, and playing with colors, light, and shadow.
Everyday Wonder
My art tends to act as autobiographical narrations of pivotal moments in my life, documenting fleeting presence, and connecting me with my feelings.
RISE AND CelebratE
My work explores assertion and celebration as a way to improve quality of life.
I aim to focus on the abundance, harmony, and spiritual connection that I want to enjoy and share.
My practice is deeply tied to my surroundings in New York City
and wherever I go.
My art is joined to my interests in social justice and advocating for mental health.
Justice IS KEY
I explicitly use my work as a call to action and a symbol of gratitude for community.
Nature and Spirit
I make a lot of self portraits examining my personal identification with nature, viewing myself, trees and landscapes as symbols of spirituality, stamina, strength, and nurturing.
