My body of work spans a variety of mediums, including digital painting, watercolor, gouache, graphite, and ink. Though my style varies, I am consistently enamored with the interplay of light and shadow, line and contour, and blocks of color. There are many unique and beautiful ways that these elements interact in nature, and I try my best to capture those interactions and intersections. My style stays near to realism, though I try to experiment slightly with stylization and abstraction.
The focus of my work captures subject matter relating to the home, whether self-portraiture, plants, or a literal house. I use self-portraiture in particular as a way of exploring what it means to be human, and more specifically, what it means to be myself. For the past eight years, I have been attending therapy regularly, and this has had a great influence on my art. I see my artwork as an extension of my self-reflection and healing journey.
When I was younger, I often felt unseen, overlooked, and underappreciated. Therefore, my self-portraits are not only introspective, but they also force the viewer to reckon with me as both a creator of my work and as a fellow human. I like to imagine that my self-portrait is staring into the viewer’s soul, trying to communicate something. Perhaps that something relates to the simple fact that I am here, that I exist, and that I can also observe.
