As an artist I work digitally and in pencil and ink, although I have recently taken up printmaking. Aside from my artistic aspirations, I am a prolific writer. My art and writing have always been acutely interconnected with one another and with my additional interests (language, photography, etc.)…the stories and worlds I create using these skills provide a way for me to explore my own thoughts and the uncontrollable exterior aspects of my life. Inspiration for my art is deeply rooted in music, the environment, and humanity. As for self-expression, I think each piece I create ends up reflecting regions of my personality that I haven’t familiarized with yet, and perhaps also a shade of whoever I am in the moment.
