Art
With my art, I explore the intangible as well as all the hidden thoughts, fears, and wishes such an undefined space encompasses to make sense of the realities that come with the 21st century. I use mediums including digital art, oil and acrylic paint, and collage.

Fine Art
I enjoy a researched based approach which integrates sound as well as sculptural elements in my ideation process. I’m very hands on and because of this I enjoy creating and ideating in multiple mediums (including digital, ceramic, painting, printmaking and photography) in order to create a blended approach to my immersive work as well as my 2D work. Music is also essential in my process and being able to integrate that into my work shapes the direction of my work consistently.

Visual Arts, Painting
My art has been focused on plastic in our oceans. Some of my work depicts fish keeping, while others depict actual ocean scenes. I’ve been experimenting with different ways to paint, such as using plastic bags to add texture to my paintings.

English with a minor in Creative Writing
An English import, writing and residing in the US, I use writing as a chance to put thoughts on the page that when said aloud, would probably just make me cry. I love to experiment with form and ideas, and spend a lot of my time drinking tea, and fiddling with drafts that may never see the light of day.
