WELCOME!
I create mindscapes that depict my dissociation, trauma, and psychosis in the form of detailed large scale acrylic paintings. As someone undergoing treatment in the mental health system, it’s important to me to humanize the experience of living with (c)PTSD, bipolar and OSDD in our society.
With a consistent palette of fluorescents balanced by local color, I emphasize texture and the warped perspective of dreams that conjures the surrealistic nature of flashbacks and night terrors. I take inspiration from these dark places and transform them while enjoying the healing process of creating something bright and invite the viewer to have fun with me on this journey. The physicality of acrylic paint allows me to build up texture and creates a grounding sensory experience. My process is messy, like the inspiration the work comes from, and that brings me joy.
I include elements of pop culture and universal symbolism to explore my relationship with shared reality in a way that transcends language barriers and encourages my audience to reflect on their own experiences.
