Artist Statement

Bridging the two unique perspectives that form my identity, my work explores my experiences as a late-diagnosed autistic person and my tribulations with short-term memory loss as a result of multiple concussions in the last decade. By balancing between the two, I am able to create fantastical narratives that bind together magic and realism that spark larger conversations of loss, joy, and the eternity of self. I explore these themes by transporting viewers into my own daydreams, filled with bright pops of color, textural elements, and refractive light.
