Biography

My mother saw my first painting and said I see the world differently—colors, light, and shadows dance in my work.
As an aspiring artist, I use acrylic to portray my feelings and my view of the people and world around me. Playing with color schemes and the setting of each piece, I aim to tell a story about the people I portray. The style of each piece, whether playful and warm, precise and cool toned, or even a look that seems rushed and more freeform say a lot about the subjects in each piece and what they are feeling in that moment.
I am a storyteller, and my portraits aim to tell the stories of what it is to be human.
