My favorite type of art is surrealist photography! I want people to relate to my art through pure instinctual emotion due to how surreal the photos are. I feel that art can speak louder than words and I want people to feel that they are not alone. I hide the face in my photos to remove an identity from the picture and try to make it solely focused on the emotion I am trying to portray. It also has been a great outlet for my emotions because it is nonsensical and illogical just as emotions are!

I find inspiration from my personal struggles with mental health and the world around me. My process starts with me grappling with something in my life and I find the need to personify it through surrealism. It is usually an emotional scenario that triggers the inspiration. After finding what I want to portray, I walk out into the city and find objects that resonate my feelings but also just make sense to the emotion and I juxtapose it with my subject.

I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by creatives my whole life. I would love to help fund the artists projects around me and lift them up just as they have lifted me. I know so many different types of artists who are ambitious but are lacking the funding because of college or their financial situation and I’d love to help them out.
