My art philosophy

As a self-taught artist, I find the art world can be a bit daunting to navigate. But I firmly believe that potential shouldn't be limited by the absence of formal or traditional education. Art, to me, is a universal language that has the power to bring people together, no matter where they come from. It stirs emotions, and through those emotions—whether it's joy, sadness, or something in between—we either connect or disconnect with one another. My goal is for people to find a piece of my artwork that resonates with them on a deeper level. I want it to spark a connection with both themselves and the world around them, in ways they may not have considered before.

I’ve always been drawn to a sense of opulence in my work, creating art that feels luxurious and timeless. This means pushing boundaries, experimenting with new ideas, and offering something that encourages the viewer to engage with my pieces in a unique and personal way. For me, creating art is a constant exploration of the world—I see art in everything. Through my use of different mediums, textures, and styles, I aim to contribute to the art world in a way that celebrates its rich diversity. Art doesn’t always need to have a profound meaning behind it—sometimes, it’s simply about having fun and enjoying the process!

  • Description of my art

    I work with a variety of mediums, from acrylics to alcohol ink, and my art is as dynamic and ever-changing as life itself. It can range from fun, bright, and abstract to fluid, organic, and luxurious, depending on the mood I’m in. I also have a deep love for creating clean, crisp lines and often incorporate metallic paints or leaf to add dimension and shine. Texture and collage are also key elements in my work, bringing depth and visual interest to each piece.

    My art spans a wide range of styles—from beachy and breezy to sleek Art Deco and playful designs. I create intuitively, allowing my emotions and energy on any given day to guide me. Some works are minimalist, with plenty of white space, while others are vibrant, airy, or dark and moody, exuding elegance.

    In addition to my personal pieces, I collaborate with collectors and local businesses to design and install abstract murals in homes and commercial spaces. You might have already spotted my work in a coffee shop or photography studio around town!
