This is a piece about love. It is about intimacy and connection: it's about self-love and loving others. It's about sex, not having sex, dialogues (spoken and unspoken) that we have with each other, the conversations we have within ourselves, how we're built to heal, and how we can serve each other through bravery and honesty. To create this work, I was inspired by my lovers, my friends, and by the strength I previously didn't know that I had within myself to endure and transform through challenges. I work in mixed media. Each material will land differently on the canvas and have a type of "dialogue" with the other media. This keeps the piece interesting, in my opinion. My style is mostly nonrepresentational so that each viewer may have their own experience with the piece. In all of my current work I aim to create mental and physical space so that the viewer can find presence within themselves as their eyes travel the canvas.

I am an emerging nonrepresentational painter working in mixed media. I create visuals for those who want to go to a place of awareness, to feel spaciousness and connection within themselves and others. My work is a testimony to my hope in humanity, an act of optimism. The images that I produce are the outward manifestation of internal work, the work of facing and embracing my own shadows, resulting in expressions of lightness, empowerment, and authenticity. A tool that I use quite often to create these expressions is my gift of synesthesia; rhythms, beats, dreams, words, all come to me as colors, shapes, and textures. I use these patterns, the sounds of our society as well as my inner drummer, to tell our stories of myth and truth. I recognize the overwhelming darkness of our current world, and I aim to contribute thoughtful brilliance to create a more balanced existence. Of great interest to me recently are the psychological archetypes that were categorized by Carl Jung. An example is the Warrior archetype. This part of the mind kicks in (for male and female alike) when we need to set up boundaries with people or time, stay focused, be clear with intentions, etc. The intention of my work is to continue focusing on the archetypes of the mind and to create a variety of images relating to our psycho-emotional patterns. It is my opinion that when we can recognize the archetypes within our thoughts and actions, we can then empower ourselves and others to change for the better. Therefore, if my work can be of service to the local community and the greater public in this way, then I am serving my mission to bring awareness and connection to our times. My own journey is a tale of nonconformity sprouting from my parents' stories that they shared with me as a kid. Stories of their travels, the people they met, and the decisions they made. I needed to understand different cultures away from the mountains of North Carolina where I grew up. So from earning a degree in Mandarin Chinese to holding office jobs to embracing my synesthesia to doing the internal work of facing my personal shadows, I realized that my art was quietly evolving with me, refining itself into simpler yet bolder expressions. In my younger days I used to cathartically blow up on a canvas with no higher purpose. As I've grown I now rest in stillness, trust the visuals that come to me, and put them to a surface.
