Throughout my artistic journey, I have always gravitated toward illustrating women. My work depicts the broad spectrum of emotions that accompany living in a female body. I aim to unmask the painful & hidden dialogue that most women endure daily due to men, media, etc. Drawing women is fascinating and sometimes predictable. Despite each individual's varying personality, one universal truth follows everyone who identifies as a woman: the inevitable obligation to carry the weight of misogyny, harassment, and abuse. I plan to use my artwork and photography to remind women globally always to hold their fire and sparkle above assumptions about female abilities and disbelief in girl power. My work illustrates the bravery, resilience, and value of marginalized populations. I am particularly passionate about challenging communal assumptions about those struggling with substance abuse, those incarcerated, and those with mental illness. My strong desire to use visual storytelling as a messenger of female empowerment drives my craft. I am eager to see where and to whom it leads me.
