As an artist with a specialty in ink illustration, spray paint on canvas, and large scale puppets, I weave a narrative through each practice, telling stories about humans interacting with their natural surroundings, as well as their industrial surroundings; how industrial progress impacts the organic world, and settings where the complex and far reaching impact of the this progress intersects with nature and spirituality; I like to tell stories about devotion, discomfort, sexuality, fear, and love; stories about the dead, memory , immortality through narrative, and the feeling of being incomplete.
In conjunction with my personal art practice and career, I’ve developed event organizing skills through my work as cofounder of Hydra Art Collective, by organizing and hosting various arts events such as figure drawing sessions, writing workshops, printmaking workshops, and puppet building workshops; as well as organizing and managing art shows, craft markets, and zine production. I’m experienced in community building through this work, and have developed unique interpersonal skills that help me navigate communication with others with a sense of empathy and understanding of how each individual’s experience impacts the community as a whole.
