Statement:
I like to view my work as a sort of “love letter” to my life. For me, the smallest moments bring the biggest joys when looking back. Because of this, the scenes I tend to focus on seem rather mundane, but are presented with lots of energy. Be it the bright, satiating color palette or expressive, wobbly line-work, I hope to capture the transient feelings I felt in those moments and allow them to be experienced by others.
