My artwork is an honest portrait of my journey as a neurodivergent queer artist working through trauma and addiction. I offer my work as a window into the world where recovery, joy, resilience, pleasure and play are the embodied reality.
My paintings are my internal landscapes that are an honest reflection of the vast and complex range of the human experience. I work in abstraction so that the viewer will continually find new places in the painting to explore and relate to, and so that the viewer has room to bring their own experience and find camaraderie in. While my intention in making paintings is part of the process, ultimately the paintings will be off living their lives in one's home or workplace. There is not a placard to explain. What matters to me most is how one feels when viewing my paintings without knowing the backstory. And I aim to make spaces for the viewer to feel connection, joy, and beauty.
