Illustrations + Paintings
My work exists at the intersection of fantasy and lived experience. Drawing inspiration from the storytelling of Disney and the expressive energy of artists like Loish and GretLusky, I use illustration as a tool to detangle my own thoughts.
For me, art is a method of translation. I use visual metaphors to explore the complexities of existing in my own skin—navigating chronic eczema, body image, and mental health. This portfolio is a collection of those navigations: intimate struggles reimagined through a lens of color, fantasy, and character.
Gesture Drawings & Technical Studies
Art is a discipline of constant evolution, and I view myself as a lifelong student. No matter how far I push my stylized or commercial work, I always return to the foundations to ground myself.
Gesture drawing is my anchor. It is my favorite way to reset my creative energy, forcing me to capture the essence of movement and life in its rawest form. I make a conscious effort to carve out space for technical studies—revisiting old subjects and refining my anatomy, perspective, and line work—to ensure that my growth is continuous and my foundation remains solid.
