Is a bi-coastal artist and designer
In both fashion and art, I am an unabashed maximalist who is all about experimentation.
In fashion, I make every morning an excuse to play dress up and to transform into whomever I feel like being that day. My art is also transformative. I am not a typical artist. My mind does not come up with an idea for a beautiful landscape painting or a sketch for a new design from sitting in a studio staring at a blank page. I am fueled not only by art but also by my experiences, and I’ve been lucky enough to experience a great deal of the world, doing some amazing things with some amazing people, in only a matter of twenty-some years. While my fashion work and my artworks are personal, they also provide me apparatuses to reach others by splattering my kaleidoscopic vision across the world.
​
This interaction with people from all over the world is the most significant part of my art, as I want my work to be able to be experienced by all- not just fellow art lovers. My work is an expression-via drawing, painting, and mixed media-of the expressions of others. What one person sees as beautiful, another might never have considered on a deeper level or may never even get the chance to experience it otherwise. I want to empower people to appreciate the unconventionalities of life, to recognize all the beauty in the world, and to experience each moment more deeply.
