My work is unflinchingly intertwined with psychological experience, identity, and the body. The images I create spring from the narrative of my evolving life. Inevitably, the work is heavily effected by my own unfolding accounts. I use art as a means of self-documentation and as a place to both store and reveal my secrets. Influenced by DIY, sub-cultures, gender politics, and my own enculturation, my art reflects my sense of rebellion and elegance.
