Statement
My artistic practice revolves around the tension between living in the moment in this world, and imagining what lies beyond the everyday. Whether that is storytelling for a fantasy world, visualizing dreams, or researching and incorporating global mythologies. For my work I primarily pull from nature, psychology and historical fashion and architecture from around the world. My work typically has a strong focus on adornment, attention to detail, and exploring the visually disturbing or mentally disturbed.
