I am an abstract artist.I’ve always had a love and passion for creating. It wasn’t until 2019 on a back-packing trip through Asia and Australia that I decided to pursue art full time. During my travels, I would spend my days studying strangers. I would quickly draw people in honest moments; reading on the subway, children playing in a park, a woman hanging up her laundry to dry. I realized how we are all connected to one another. We are all one.I was inspired by our similarities. Less became more. Through my work I hope to portray the feeling of connection to one another. My work is intended to be simplistic, imaginative and expressive. I use energetic and bold lines to channel my inspiration and thoughts found in everyday life. I am currently working out of my studio in Charleston, South Carolina. I am constantly experimenting with new ideas through different mediums whether its clothing, jewelry or painting.
