The drawings, videos, music, and photos I have been producing over the past decade are centered around relationships, pain, and mental health. When creating my work I like to focus on things I've experienced firsthand or secondhand through the people and places that occupy my life. I find purpose in taking this approach because I believe that my experience is one of many similar stories, and that expressing said experience through honest and intimate means will create something of value for the viewer. I trust there is something profound to be discovered in the gritty and imperfect.

I am inspired by individuals, locations, and stories. I began my artistic journey as a way to express and deal with negative emotions and experiences. As I've become more passionate and involved in the art world, I have become more interested in the ways I can reach others with similar lives through my visual art and music. The illustrations, videos, photos, and music I have created over the past few years range in subject, material, and style, but what I appreciate representing the most when working in a flat visual medium is the emotions of people and places.

For my more involved drawing projects, I collect a vast array of photographs of friends and locations in order to collage and use as reference material. This approach adds an aspect of familiarity and nearness to what I choose to represent when illustrating because the entire process is a personal endeavor. This goes the same for my music and video work. From a song writing perspective, much of my recorded material is autobiographical and impressionistic. I try to find a way for my projects to encompass as much as what I'm proficient in as possible. The more of my story I put into my work the closer people may relate to my story, and as a result, I feel connected back to the people and places I make my art about.
