I like to create expressive art, whether character or landscape, to bring out the depth of what my voice is hoping to express. I want to make light out of darkness and everything in between with my color palette, strokes, lines, and the facial expressions. I want my work to speak for me and find the voice in others that they had been looking for. It could be chaotic, unpredictable, unusual, or strangely …normal. But I want my work to find me in others and others in me.

Mental health is the major inspiration to my work. Understanding the good, the bad and the quirky. Sometimes I paint about cities to represent the loneliness inside a person or design a character that expresses the loudness in someone’s mind. I look for quirks in how a creature reacts to something that could be normal to someone else. I also take inspiration from my own life as a little person (person with dwarfism). I look for ways to explain how the world can view my world.

I would pay off all my debt from my vending fees, travel expenses, food and gas, etc. Then, I would take 10% and deposit it into a savings. Another 10% to invest further into my art (like trademarking my logo, publishing my character’s story and finding an agent or lawyer.) Lastly, but will be first, I want to help my parents out as they invested so much to help me succeed. Without their support, their time, and their sacrifice to work with me at events, I wouldn’t be here now writing this.
