I am a self-taught outsider figurative expressionist who rediscovered my passion for drawing and painting at 37, two decades after my last formal art class. Through my art, I reveal and disarm human issues, weaving memento mori and spiritual themes with influences from the 1980s and 1990s pop culture I grew up in.

After struggling with crippling shyness as a child and young adult, I became an avid non-fiction reader and took numerous courses to feel better. As I grew into a happy introvert, I began an esoteric journey that led me to memento mori. I often listen to spiritual podcasts and interviews while I paint, walk, and sometimes sleep. Chronic illness has pushed me close to death, and expressing this through art has been the only way to make sense of it. Nostalgia also drives my work, as music from my 80s and 90s childhood.
