I am a mixed-media artist who bridges the interior and exterior realms of human experience, creating works across a variety of mediums to both express myself and connect with others.
My journey with art began at a young age, but it didn’t become serious until 2020, when I nearly ended my life.
In that moment of darkness, art became my savior—my therapist, my love, and my closest friend.
From there, creation turned into an obsession, and that obsession revealed what I had always known deep down:
I see the world differently. I see it through an artistic lens. This is not just what I do—it is my purpose.
I began with acrylic on canvas, which remains a favorite, but my curiosity has led me into many forms: pen on paper, ceramic sculpture, spray paint, yarn, moss work, fashion design, photography, styling, and modeling. Each medium becomes a new way to explore transformation, self-awareness, and the many layers of being human.
A central theme you’ll find throughout my work is polarity—the balance of yin and yang—as a reflection of life’s dualities. My pieces embody a clean yet chaotic interplay: structure intertwined with freedom, order disrupted by bursts of color, simplicity countered by boldness. The result is an aesthetic that feels both raw and refined… a uniquely luxurious curation.
This dialogue with balance is deeply personal. As a mixed individual—both Black and white—I have always lived in spaces of in-between. That perspective shapes everything I create. Black and white anchor my story, while vibrant colors convey growth, grounding, and resilience.
In order to explore these themes more, from 2021 to 2025, I lived and worked in Miami. Where my practices expanded into larger dialogues with nature, chaos, and healing.
My debut series,
THE PROGRESSiON COLLECTiON (2022),
invited viewers to reflect on themes of home and grounding in the midst of a chaotic society.
Works like LOVE, HOME, DEATH, PASSiON & PAiN, and CONTROLLED CHAOS represented stages of my evolution as both a person and an artist.
Afterward, I spent two years reflecting and gathering experiences, which led to FEELiN BLUE—a collection that reimagines “blue” not as sadness, but as clarity, healing, peace, and resilience.
Highlights include LiL iNTRO VERT, BE STiLL, SiLVER SURFER, ANTiDOTE, and iNFECTED.
Now, as I continue to create, each piece becomes both a mirror and a bridge: an intimate narrative transformed into a universal language. My practice embodies the ongoing pursuit of balance—pulling the past and future into the present moment, channeling structure and chaos for both personal and collective meaning.
Ultimately, my work is about connection: between opposing forces, lived experiences, and shared truth. It’s not just something to be seen—it’s something to be felt.
