My photography focuses on environments, architecture, and self portraits. In the future I hope to experiment with portraits, family photography, interior design, and events. I'm most excited to expand my conceptual process for my self portraits to collaborative projects with others.
Paintings & Prints
Watercolor was my first medium that I was truly proud of. I've come back to it recently, as a meditative practice. I also work with block printing, which to date I think is the most consistent I've ever been with any one medium. Recently I began experimenting with acrylics, also as a meditative sensory practice. These colorful paintings are representative of my sensory experiences with light, color, and sound.
Apparel & Jewelry
In the Summer of 2019 I began experimenting with jewelry making, using the crystals I had been collecting over the years. With the encouragement of #arttwitter, a lovely community, I began selling my pieces and first called myself an Artist.
During the pandemic I snagged the last sewing machine from empty shelves, and started making my own clothes. Slowly the idea for Eros, and the next stage of my business started to spark.
Poetry
When I was little I was constantly making up songs and singing them to myself. I stopped writing for awhile, until my junior year in high school, when we did a unit on poetry. I'll always be grateful to my English teacher, I don't know when I would have found the courage to share my work if she hadn't encouraged me to keep writing (I did). You can find my work in selected anthologies, and my first full collection is in the final editing stages.

Digital Designs
My digital art journey began when I started creating graphics to digitize pages of my journal, and the system I created to manage my mental health. I started sharing some of the pages as mental health resources online, and the system has gone through many evolutions, all leading towards an eventual app. I also enjoy creating patterns, which I've used for a variety of pieces, including wallpaper, journals, and decorative paper.
Concept Shoots
All of my concept shoots start with a spark, and grow seemingly independently from there. I rarely know what that spark will grow into, but the process is invigorating. My visual style often includes themes of myth, sensuality, and death. Producing these shoots allows me to draw on a variety of skills, including clothing, jewelry, set, and prop design. In the future I plan on expanding into short films. If you have an idea for a project, I'd love to collaborate.
