About: Born and raised in southwest Michigan in 1994, I am a mostly self-taught artist who inherited my magical mind from my family. I have never wanted to be anything other than an artist my entire life and this past year has seen many great strides towards my goal of becoming a full-time artist.
What I love to create: Inspired by trauma and neurodivergence, many of my paintings embody the emotions of my personal Narrative through metaphors. Using interesting forms, composition, and strategic colors I create emotional works that reflect the way I felt in the depths of an abusive relationship, suffering an eating disorder, and living with anxiety. Both in their content, as well as the physical presence of each piece, I intend for my paintings to echo the metamorphosis that one experiences when wandering through life.
When creating from my emotions becomes overwhelming, I dive into escapism, painting magical worlds, people, and creatures. I have always held a love for fantasy genres and this comes through in my escapist artwork. Influenced by anime, myths and fairy tales, and powerful women which you can see in pieces like Hayao Miyazaki’s Ghibli Portrait, Rachel Cargel’s Portrait, and Gisselle.
My inspiration? Why I make? Painting and drawing has always been my passion and when I can create a painting or drawing that depicts what I see in a scene I feel fulfilled.
