My journey to becoming an artist has been shaped by a lifelong fascination with human connection and emotional complexity. Emotive eyes are central to my work, serving as an invitation to connect with my characters. Inspired by the unguarded honesty of children, I infuse my characters with childlike traits to help even the most “grown-up” among us engage with themes of sadness, vulnerability, playfulness, and resilience.
While my subject matter varies, I’m continually inspired by the gentle strength and resilience I see in people. Whether we are optimistically planting seeds, lifting each other up, or bringing creativity into a world that is shaken by heartbreak, isolation and despair, I’m inspired by the hopeful narrative of our imperfect species.
And though it’s not a new story, it’s one I believe is worth telling again and again.
