What is your favorite type of art to create?

My preferred work is graphite drawings and oil paintings that reflect the realm of mortality, nature, and sensuality. My work is a meditative practice that incorporates shadow work, dream imaging, archetypes, and ritual, with the intent of assembling each drawing as a spiritual invocation and a gentle admonition to the spectator of life's transience.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in the communal experience of mortality. I aim to deliver a message of fragility and awareness of death through a charming macabre lens. My work concentrates on representing the morbid in an enticing, sensual nature through the feminization of death, further revealing it as an esoteric, delicate, seductive form. This has been my greatest and most enduring source of inspiration as death is the ultimate unifying factor that we all share in this very divided world.

What would you do with $25,000?

I create perfumes to accompany my visual work, extending the experience beyond the visual into the olfactory. I also rescue Savannah cats that have suffered trauma and are difficult to re-home, animals that require highly specialized care. Should I be so lucky, any winnings would go toward two things I care about deeply: keeping my small shop growing, and expanding my home so I can open it to more cats in need.
