Artist Statement
My work is driven by an insatiable desire to create, and the thrill of telling a wordless story with layers upon layers of hidden detail. I create illustrations and prints that invite viewers to linger, explore, and return. Whether through ink, watercolor, or lithography, I use traditional and digital techniques to tell stories and invite people to enjoy revisiting each piece, a glimpse into my mind.
Printmaking is at the core of my practice as it has been a passion of mine for over 10 years now. I’m drawn to the patience, mental gymnastics, and physical exertion it takes to create just one print. I often blend this with illustrative elements, rendering complex compositions that reward a closer look. Hidden within many of my pieces are snails, tucked into corners or curled beneath leaves, hidden in the most unlikely locations, rewarding viewers with a sense of accomplishment if they find them all.
Conceptually, my work explores transformation, folklore, historic tradition, and the simple beauty and humor one can find in this world. Ultimately, I want my work to be something people desire to look at again and again, whether it brings them joy, peace, sorrow, or healing.
