“I’m a self-taught mixed media artist, mostly working with plastered fabric on canvas. My process is pure instinct. no plans, just letting feelings and ideas collide as I go. Inspired by nature and abstraction, I explore the messy, unpredictable side of creating. I started painting after college as a hobby, but it quickly turned into something more when people wanted to buy my work. Now, I let each piece unfold naturally and trust the art to take me wherever it’s meant to go.”
Professional Summary
Visual artist working in plaster creating three-dimensional pieces. After an early career in acrylic painting (2011?2015), I pursued a decade in professional makeup artistry. In 2025, I returned to art with a focus on sculptural plaster work that explores themes of abstraction and transformation. My work emphasizes surface, texture, versatility.
