My paintings and installations are a whirlwind of bright colors on canvas and fabric. Most days, I will tell you that vibrancy is about positivity and always looking for hope and goodness in the world, but some days it's about the futility and superficiality of it all. And I love this paradox and I am most interested in the intricate complexities and gray areas that exist between opposing forces.

Much of my work is a self-reflective, diaristic chronicle of my journey—unraveling my desires and pleasures while upholding societal expectations. I explore this figuratively and abstractly in my work, balancing chaos and control, joy and sadness, and natural and fake by using bright neons amid grungy charcoal lines, gold leaf in haphazard chunks, and swirling brushstrokes bound by fragile lines of oil stick. This leaves my figures somewhat distorted or grotesque but painted with vibrant color and emotional expression.

I aim to critique societal norms, challenge etiquette, and advocate for feminism by questioning the rules we put on ourselves. I find myself contemplating the pull to be a good wife and mother but then have to question where to put desire, lust, fun and pleasure as the structure of marriage and typical nuclear family concept feels oppressive and futile. I seek answers to these questions in my personal life and echo them back to myself in my paintings.
