About Me.
My first introduction to the art world was through the Theatre. There, I learned about performance, painting (through set design), dance, and sound (through directing the tech crew). Now, I live in Minneapolis and I continue to grow in skill and perspective by practicing these arts and connecting with the community here. I still paint, create, and illustrate frequently. I produce music, perform, and compete in freestyle dance competitions.
I am ever curious and strive to learn about myself and the world through expression.
​
As an art connoisseur and creative, my environment and experience inspires much of my art. I believe inspiration is all around. My work centers around the powerful and evocative theme of nostalgia. I am drawn to the memories and emotions of the past, particularly those of the people, places, and experiences that define our sense of self and community.
Through my art, I aim to capture the warmth and beauty of these memories, while also exploring the complex and often bittersweet nature of nostalgia. I use a range of techniques and mediums, from ink and acrylic paint to digital illustration, to bring these memories to life in vivid detail. Whether through the bold strokes of a brush or the intricate details of a digital drawing, I hope to create art that resonates with people on a deep and meaningful level, bringing joy, comfort, and inspiration to all who experience it.
