ABOUT THE ARTIST

BIO

As an artist with approximately ten years of professional experience, my goal is to push the boundaries of traditional art forms and bring my artistic vision to life in future projects. My background in visual arts spans in painting, drawing, photography, collaging, muraling, and crafting, with an artistic style influenced by expressionism, symbolism, and maximalism.

I am a native of Oakland, CA. I didn't speak much growing up due to the overwhelming trauma I've experienced since an early age. Art was a way for me to process the world around me and be a voice for me when I couldn't speak. It was a way to feel powerful and free. I am always discovering new things about myself and finding new ways to express them. I use art to also bring awareness to what's going on around us and to question our behavior. I want us all to question why things are the way they are and whether things should continue this way.
