I have many sources of inspiration: nature, humans, the world, my dreams, and my mental health. A lot of my pieces have some sort of meaning behind them, hinted at through the titles, many of which represent specific experiences of my life. Other times, my works are the result of spur-of-the-moment inspiration, where the story lies in the physical art process and my thoughts and state of mind in the moment of creating. Sometimes I struggle with anxiety, depression, and thoughts of negativity, so I subvert these emotions by painting or drawing vibrant, colorful, or intricate pieces, while also creating a space for myself and others to acknowledge these feelings.

I hope that my creations can be a source of inspiration, not only to pursue one's passions but also to serve as a glimmer of beauty and optimism in a world that can feel extremely bleak.
