Welcome

Artist Statement
My work represents how childhood and adulthood are always interconnected. I take serious moments and show how they can be interpretated in magical ways or how awkwardness can be intriguing and delicate. My work permeates from an intuitive side of the way I see the environments around me. I construct the moments of uncertainty in life and magnify them.The "magnified moments" illustrations are delicate builds of ink washes and are paired together by either oppositions or connections. The opposition pairs are sometimes arguments I have with myself in life and the pieces about connection are more about the memories that get wrapped around us.These illustrations are the expectations, the dreams, the playfulness, the unconscious paranoia, and the familiarity it all makes when its all combined.
