i’m a brooklyn-based artist with roots near south florida's everglades. my artwork explores primitive formalism and abstraction, framed through themes of femininity, depression, and the process of memory reinterpretation. my practice celebrates the irregular, the crude, and the whimsical, creating a rich tapestry of emotion and thought.
working primarily with oil pastels on canvas or panel, i layer vibrant colors and textures, often incorporating objects to build a complex, introspective world. my art grapples with the tension between anxiety and tranquility, aiming to evoke a sense of personal spiritualism and reconnect with the inner child through insinuated shapes and clashing colors.
i view myself as an existential provocateur, crafting pieces that both veil and reveal deeper truths. my work conjures a dreamlike space for infinite contemplation, inviting viewers to engage with their own inner landscapes and existential reflections.
