Why do I make art?
Making art makes me feel free, capable of doing anything. Whenever I’m making art, I give myself full permission too let myself wander through my imagination and daydreams, creating a safe haven within my own world. My work is rooted in emotion, memory, and personal history. I use painting as a way to explore and process the complexities of my childhood, identity, and mental health. Each piece I create is an attempt to make sense of what I feel but cannot express by speaking aloud.
I see art as a space for truth and healing. Not just for myself, but for others who see parts of their story reflected in my paintings. I want viewers to feel something, even if it’s uncomfortable— especially if it’s uncomfortable.
I found art to be a safe way of expression and a way of sharing the beauty of my mind with others. I want my work to stand as proof that beauty and meaning can emerge from pain. Through my art, I wish to guide us back to the vivid dreams of our youth, and to inspire emotions we felt as children. I want my art to heal our inner child, allowing you to see the world through a colorful lens once again.
