I create artwork that explores the intersections of culture, identity, and self-discovery. As a queer, mixed-race woman, my work is rooted in personal experience and a deep commitment to representation. Through bold color, layered textures, and storytelling, I aim to celebrate the beauty of everyday life and the resilience of marginalized communities. Whether it’s on city walls or gallery panels, my pieces invite viewers to reflect, feel seen, and take pride in who they are. Art, for me, is both a mirror and a bridge—a way to honor our histories while envisioning more inclusive futures.
