Emerging from a deep rut and the challenges of early sobriety, I found my passion for art in the most unexpected way. Invited to a 6 AM dance party called Daybreaker, I transitioned from struggling to get out of bed to moving with energy and joy among others.

 

This transformative experience inspired me to channel my emotions into creativity, leading me to grab the paint and start throwing vibrant colors onto my collages, confronting the “bills in the closet” that weighed me down.

 

Initially intimidated by the idea of painting, I discovered that embracing my feelings through art was a powerful form of expression. Painting became a lifeline, allowing me to transfer my struggles onto the canvas without fear of judgment or perfection.

 

My journey began with a spontaneous investment of my last dollars into art supplies, fueling a creative spiral that birthed works like “Broken Record of Trauma.”

​

At the heart of my art lies the exploration of life's dualities—the beauty and darkness that coexist. My style, which I describe as where “darkness meets glam-n-glitter,” reflects this theme of polarity.
