Born and currently residing in North Carolina, I started using oil paints around the age of 12 and gained inspiration from the surrealist movement, music, and emotions over the years. I aim to create visual stories involving self-reflection or emotional themes. Primarily I tend to focus on feelings or concepts ranging from anxiety, grief, isolation, and existentialism. My most recent work focuses on organic biomorphic shapes and creatures. I create these works with the automatic drawing technique.
​
My work can be found on the online art streaming site Loupe. My work has been displayed at multiple local group art exhibits and artist markets throughout the years including the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC; Jacoby Art Gallery in Illinois, and Bedford Gallery in California.
