I create to transform experience into truth. Alchemizing pain into beauty, so others feel seen, awakened and connected.

I create mixed media pieces that transform emotion into energy, Through texture, resin, light and movement, I channel the unseen into something tangible. My work lives between science and spirit- cosmic, elemental and deeply human. Each piece is an act of alchemy, turning pain, growth and truth into something that can be felt, not just seen.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in energy within myself, in nature, and in the unseen forces. Music opens the channel, the cosmos expands it, and life experiences give gives it form. I’m deeply inspired by the human consciousness, astronomy and the emotional journey of healing. I don’t his create what I see,I create what I feel moving through me.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in building a movement through large scale murals across Texas- an elemental series rooted in healing, connection and truth. I’d expand my studio, secure materials and elevate my work to create opportunities for community involvement, especially youth. This isn’t just art, it’s activation. I’m here to remind people who they are.
