Curriculum Vitae

Profile

My work is an amalgamation of realism and stylized abstraction.  I focus primarily on the human form and I pull heavily from surrealist practices.  My artistic passion is driven by my experiences with mental illness, domestic abuse, trauma, and love.  

I want those who have suffered from mental illness, domestic abuse, and trauma to see hope.  I want those who are in the dark to see the light.  I want us all to remember that we are of one community and that we are all in this and can heal together.

I am not alone.

You are not alone.

We are not alone.
