Art has been my sanctuary since I was four years old, offering an escape from reality. My work is bold, beautiful & diverse.

Contemporary and abstract art. I love working with bold colors and abstract forms because it’s where I feel most free. My main medium is acrylic painting on canvas. Yet I create art experimenting diverse mediums, such as digital illustration, mixed media.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration is a vibrant collision between art history’s heavyweights and the neon-soaked energy of my Millennial upbringing. I build my foundation on the structural defiance of Picasso, the surrealism of Dalí, and the raw vulnerability of Kahlo, while drawing from the organic forms of O’Keeffe and the kinetic pulse of Haring. These influences are filtered through a 90s and early-00s lens. My aesthetic DNA is rooted in the maximalism of pop-rock culture and MTV-era graphics.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 for my son, a vacation, bills and of course more art supplies.
