I grew up in the woods of New Jersey and attended Catholic school my entire life, something that influences my work greatly. When I was 18, I left home and attended Stetson University in Deland, Florida. After a few major changes, I graduated with a degree in Studio Art and minors in Art History and Communication. I am currently based out of Raleigh, NC. Creative practice is the most important aspect of my life.

My Medium
I like to explore different mediums but I consider myself a mixed media painter. I primarily use gouache and acrylic paints, but elements of collage and unusual supports are notable. Text from weird sources and images from forgotten advertisements find their way into my work.

My Inspiration
Painting has provided a far more suitable language for me to tell a story with than words alone ever could. There is a duality to my art by nature. My inspiration is drawn from a fascination with rendering the unseen, the spirit, and the body. I contemplate how we move through the world and how the world moves through us; how we connect
Painting has provided a far more suitable language for me to tell a story with than words alone ever could. There is a duality to my art by nature. My inspiration is drawn from a fascination with rendering the unseen, the spirit, and the body. I contemplate how we move through the world and how the world moves through us; how we connect to one another and how we perceive those connections. I use crisp and chaotic linework to represent ideas. I love creating abstract patterns and representational elements that exist on the same plane. My work can be colorful and bright even when depicting the melancholy. Conversely, lightheartedness and humor find their way into my darkness. I am dependent on the dichotomies that shape our world.
