I am an artist who creates dreamy magic through physical and digital mediums. I am drawn to blurring layered colors, figures, and symbols that act as guides through the portal of each creation. My imagery hosts alchemical, botanical, and occult references with layers of cuteness, sigils, and repeating characters across dreamscapes and abstract backgrounds.
My artwork is an ongoing narrative of dissolution and creation surrounding play, connection, illusion, and the web of reality. A balancing act between aspects of abstracted chaos and intent guides each piece of mine to completion. The liminal threshold of each artwork’s creation period is reminiscent of the threshold between dreams and reality. Over and over, I yearn to create an invitation where one could join me in experiencing something both magical and nostalgic, something that feels sharp and soft simultaneously.
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.
