I explore personal themes such as joy, comfort, family, and home through vivid multimedia paintings and drawings. Growing up, I was always a homebody, preferring to stay in while friends and acquaintances ventured out to explore the world. As I grow older, this fact remains true, even more so now than ever. Home is a refuge, a familiar place filled with security and rejuvenation. A place full of routine and order. My connection to home arises not only from the place itself but because everything that is important to me resides within it. My belongings, memories, childhood, and loved ones are all held within the walls I call home.

In my current creative journey, birds have become a recurring motif in my work, symbolizing the warmth and comfort I feel when I am at home and with my family. Whether the birds I depict are a favorite of a family member or ones I see through the window every day, each species I portray connects to my memories.

Working primarily on 2D and 3D surfaces, I create art using a variety of mediums, including acrylic, graphite, ink, colored pencils, and more. This diversity of materials allows me to play within my creative process, experimenting with layers and new techniques.
