Her work has been exhibited at ABV Gallery, Cat Eye Creative, MINT Gallery, Empire Arts Gallery, and Arches Brewing.

Statement
My purpose is to make the world a better place by creating positive, beautiful, and impactful art.
I’m inspired by the beauty in the world and try to reflect that beauty back through my designs and paintings. I use bright colors and often pastels so my work feels very feminine and cheerful. Flowers and typography play a big role in my work, but I’m also inspired by geometry, nature, and abstraction. This allows for a variety in subject matter, but what my styles have in common are bright colors, delicate details, and a positive message. I am also starting to use my voice to express my point of view on societal topics like equality and social justice, which I am passionate about.
