I am an interdisciplinary artist with focuses in acrylic and oil painting, fine line drawing, collaging, hand-sewing and short film making. I consider my collection of work to be more of a visual diary rather than a confined set of materials limited to any kind of specified medium. My creative practice essentially draws from early memories of my childhood, where my siblings and I would create pretend worlds of our own using items we found in other people's trash like scraps of wood, metal, shopping carts, pots and pans, bedsheets, newspapers and anything we could find. We were mesmerized by the potential of these forgotten objects, and that mesmerization is what carried me into my current studio practice as a fine artist. Themes of ephemera, mysticality and playfulness are represented in my work through storybook-like illustrations, as well as the reuse of abandoned objects and physical scraps of life in my handmade goods. My work aims to communicate the magic of childlike wonder correlated with the mundaneness of adulthood, and how that wonder can be rediscovered through the mundane. There lies a visual contrast between detail and softness, psychedelia and drabness, messy layering of textures and materials. I am currently earning my BFA at Pacific Northwest College of Art, hoping to gain more hands on studio experience and pertain in DIY communities.
