“When I think about how my work impacts me, the first word that comes to mind is “Sincerity.”  I am naturally inspired by lessons of life and how nature/people decide to express such truths. I look at the young kid in me that wanted to ‘Wow’ and help people, but never really believed in myself. I knew that my art was the path to grow out of old perceptions and into new perspectives. I knew my art was going to save me and I believed that I could turn my daydreams into living reality. 

My goals are to share my growing gift in the arts forever as a student and walk the path of my ancestors who recognized art as essential to their culture and people. I will express my passion for self improvement via my own stories, characters and symbols with my background in illustration and expand it into different mediums to curate synesthetic performances and projects that redefine what it means to be an illustrator. To make my art visually striking but let the design reflect the message that hits just as hard emotionally and spiritually. I want to be the example of an artist that I wished I could have had as an influence when I was younger, and show the next generation the power of a world- building artist, an artist that innovates with the mind, heart and soul.”
