There’s so much inside my brain… I have to paint. Like therapy. Life has been a lot and painting helps work through that…

Realism mixed with pop art- I love painting the woman’s body in unrealistic colors, making it about the woman not her skin tone. As well as I enjoy creating dystopian abandoned places. Putting small Easter eggs to find in the painting, telling the story of the place painted.
Where do you find inspiration?By the things happening around me, things friends enjoy at times. I was told I have a child like mind… zoning out and dissociating come easy. “Day dreaming” if you will. My pretty woman are inspired by the woman in the world whom let society deem what makes them attractive, I like to show the parts they hate but I love. Because it’s apart of being a woman and all of it is beautiful!
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off my fines and attempt to create a good future for myself. Life after highschool was a bit different than planned. I’ve always wanted my own small business. Open a studio to help others create things/ have a place to go… where they will be supported.
