Welcome! I'm a multimedia artist based in Washington state. My work incorporates painting, drawing, and photography. I focus my practice around mental health and the difficulties surrounding the human condition, including mood and personality disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Drawing from lived experience, I use my own struggles with suicidal ideation and mental health in my practice. The emotional, physical and sexual trauma I've experienced is rendered in large format two-dimensional pieces. This work seeks to call out lackluster resources and stigmatization of those facing mental illness, trauma, and addiction. My work shines a light on the uncomfortable and everyday lives of the chronically mentally ill, and celebrate the people and practices that make the heavy weight of long-term trauma a bit lighter. In addition, I aim to destigmatize severe mental illness, recognize the lonely, and extend a conversation about the things that often go unsaid. The creative process acts as an emotionally turbulent healing mechanism. Often literally my own blood, sweat, and tears are interwoven into my pieces.
