I am an artist who channels dreamy magic through physical and digital mediums. My work is an ongoing narrative of Dionysian dissolution and creation, exploring play, connection, illusion, and the web of reality. My imagery weaves together alchemical, botanical, and occult references with layers of cuteness and recurring characters across dreamscapes and abstract backgrounds.

The most featured character in my practice takes their namesake from Charles Baudelaire. This muse acts as a spiritual guide, a playful trickster, and a subject through which I alchemically combine the sublime with Superflat influences. They traverse my work as a bridge between the mischievous and the mythic, embodying the tension between whimsicality, ritual, and spiritual transformation.

Currently based in Houston, Texas, my art has found its home in local art boutiques, metaphysical shops, and shows, where it resonates with unique individuals who value all things beautiful, strange, and transformative.

Time and again, I strive to create an invitation where one could join me in experiencing something both magical and nostalgic, something that feels sharp, soft, playful, and profound.
