Visual artist from Flint, MI based in Los Angeles, CA.
When I feel guilty for posting about my art while the world burns, I think of Mister Rogers and Bob Ross, tiny offerings of gentleness and wonder are still necessary. My art isn’t escapism to ignore the world, it’s how I survive it.

Fun fact. Between Planes was supposed to be my first mural in LA but the budget went from we'll provide supplies to "oh we didn't think supplies would cost that much". I respectfully declined.

Currently obsessing, drooling, dropping on my knees in love with this random perfectly straight line. I mean creating these are absolute chaos so when something like a straight line occurs I marvel at it.

Automatic painting and drawing are the best ways to start your day. No pressure, just vibes.

Hi friends! I’m a visual artist raised in Flint, MI and now residing in Los Angeles, CA. My work is influenced by surrealism and contemporary abstract art. I mostly work with oil paint, but love to experiment with all different kinds of mediums.

I had an art show the week after the election and I am beyond grateful. I can’t think of a better way to be reminded how amazing and supportive my community is. ❤️
