In my journey navigating through my rough upbringing, it took a village of once-strangers to help raise me. I dedicate my artwork to those people who saved me in times I couldn’t carry myself. The only thing ever expected in return from them, was to continue to find my truth and to lift others the same way done for me.

My work reflects an ongoing process of healing. Through portraiture, I draw from memories that my inner child feels ready to revisit, using each piece as a way to process, understand, and give form to those experiences. While my work honors those who shaped me, it also becomes a space where I begin to construct and understand the person that I am becoming.
