I was raised in South Florida but now i’m living and playing in Los Angeles. I've always been a doodler and I've kinda just kept at it. My creative process is characterized by spontaneity and freedom. I work in a fluid, freeform manner, allowing my doodles to coalesce into harmonious compositions. Each piece acts as a portal, inviting the eye and mind to find comfort within the balance and seamless interplay of shapes. Using a repetitive family of shapes that differ ever so slightly from one another, I explore the rich tapestry of human experience—celebrating both our shared similarities and our diversity. My practice is fueled by a compulsion to create. The playful work I create across variety of mediums include; painting, digital design, clay and wood sculpture, reflect my exploration of new techniques and skills while staying true to my voice. This commitment highlights the boundless nature of my creativity and the dynamic balance between tradition and innovation in my work. My desire to communicate with patterns is something that mimics with the fundamental energies of all living things. By bringing my work to life, I engage in a sacred space where creation and reception intersect. My goal is to both be seen and to see—to live an art filled life, and equally important, to invite others to do the same. I believe there is no greater blessing.
