Strong, untamed reactions influence my process as I navigate themes of loss, discovery, and destruction. My vibrant, dense Mixed Media works embrace themes of queerness, catastrophe, and resilience. These pieces blend text, images, and found materials to explore existential ponderings and the connections between the past, present, and future. The resolution of these works reflect the cumulation of daily frustrations with an unrelenting sense of optimism: a silver lining. The ratio of these elements vary. My paintings, The Box and Seemingly provide an altruistic atmosphere with a sense of perseverance and unapologetic acceptance. Meanwhile, Premonition contains a tragic devastation without comfort. Meanwhile, most of my works blend the two aspects. The alligator in my work Lemme Chomp Dat Ass! balances threats of sexual violence with an empowering sense of resilence. Losing Faith, tackles consequences of overconsumption and mass production with the reassurance that individuality remains intact.
This balance helps me achieve a thorough search of personal and societal frustrations whilst also calling for action, strength, and love. My artworks start with a solidified focus and loose abstraction of colors. This concoction invents the base for my whimsical labyrinth of hidden add-ons. My practice acts as a lyrical ritual navigating dynamics regarding personal and societal roles. Throughout my collection, I use a mixture of figurative, flora, and fauna to reflect an ever-changing world and the impacts of its inhabitants.
