I'm a New York City based artist, photographer and activist. Having left my childhood home and embarked on four years of non-stop travel, I found my home and community in NYC.
I use smears and smudges of paint...
to create powerful, evocative pieces that touch on themes of social isolation, my own mental deterioration and death.
When COVID-19 struck...
I began art as a coping mechanism for the pain and tragedy I saw around me and it quickly formed into a passion.
My feelings...
translated better on paper than they ever could in words.
It felt as if my artwork was an extension of my actual self.
