I am a digital media artist and life maximalist living by the motto "Too much is almost enough". In the visual arts, I'm especially intrigued by the wildly subjective internal barometers that cause one piece to be interpreted as 'beyond the limits of sensorially acceptable' by one and 'mildly stimulating' by another. My work stems from my own truths unveiled during this intrinsic pursuit of becoming personal with everything life offers- ALL the colors, ALL the flavors, ALL the emotions, ALL the passport stamps, ALL the fashion- and is rarely created without a deeper backstory or symbolism. You are warmly invited to explore my art with the hope you'll discover a connection within for what you are seeking- whether too much or almost enough.
When I was six, I "stole" 200+ paint sample cards while at the store with my parents, only to have them fall out of my jacket like a colorful tsunami at the cashiers.

When I was six, I "stole" 200+ paint sample cards while at the store with my parents, only to have them fall out of my jacket like a colorful tsunami at the cashiers. Like any artist, creativity starts young but is borne out of a unique mix of multi-faceted identities and diverse life experiences. Here are a few of the identities (in no particular order) contributing to my art:
Urban planner; World traveler; Podcaster; Fearless fashionista; One-time skydiver; Social justice supporter; Salsa dancer; Classical singer; Poet; Toy robot collector; Interior designer
While I love to create and enjoy works of others that is beautiful for the sake of beauty, what excites me the most is art with meaning, the art that changes me and my view of what is beautiful, relevant, valuable, or provoking. So, I'll ask you, rhetorically, the same things I ask myself when interacting with art-
- WHY is this beautiful/
While I love to create and enjoy works of others that is beautiful for the sake of beauty, what excites me the most is art with meaning, the art that changes me and my view of what is beautiful, relevant, valuable, or provoking. So, I'll ask you, rhetorically, the same things I ask myself when interacting with art-
- WHY is this beautiful/ugly to me?
- WHY does this impact me?
- WHY didn't I think of the subject matter in this way before?
- WHAT does my interpretation of this reveal about me?
- HOW can this change me?
- WHERE do I go from here?
