My work represents a natural need for "hobby hoarding" and moves across many forms - watercolor, acrylic, gouache, textures, writing, and music all live in the same space.

​

Color plays a huge role in my work. I lean heavily into saturated tones and strong contrasts - it often feels like the colors are vibrating against each other while other times they mingle and dance together like they were meant to be. I mix every color myself using only cyan, yellow, magenta and black. I find that limiting the palette like this keeps the process raw and intentional, it gives me time to think about exactly what I want to create, to visualize the painting on the canvas and understand how each color works and unifies with each other - so every color you see is built from the ground up.

​

A lot of my visual inspiration comes from artists such as Mark Ryden and Zhiyong Jing; artists that build entire emotional worlds inside a single image. Their work reminds me that art can be strange, symbolic, unsettling and beautiful all at once.
