Summary

I am a mixed media artist interested in exploring the unknown and depths of human emotions. In my work, I aim to stay as honest as possible. I feel that it is the only way to make something real. I have spent most of my time exploring and creating art with traditional media, music, fashion, and film, and am constantly searching for new ways to express myself artistically. I find inspiration in both the conscious and subconscious world, and by dissecting the work of artists I look up to. I am hard-working, dedicated, and good with people. I have great problem-solving abilities and I am able to see in ways that others might not because of my various expertise.
