Artist Statement

Through drawing and painting, I translate the cycles and rhythms of the day-to-day world into layered, contemplative pieces where emotion can be witnessed, honored, and navigated with intention.

Artist Bio

I am a mixed-media artist based in Seattle, WA, with a background in stop-motion animation and floral design. My work is deeply inspired by nature and mental health, themes that weave through my everyday illustrations and acrylic paintings. Each piece is an exploration of deep emotions, transforming them into a visual language that fosters presence and intentionality.
Through my art, I seek to create a sense of agency over our inner experiences—encouraging engagement with our emotions without allowing them to dictate our actions or shape our external realities.
