Bearded Ladies, Bushes and Babes.

​

 

At the heart of it all, I create as my own form of language which desires to describe our most challenging experiences, shaping a continuing dialogue for personal growth and interpersonal connection. Through symbolic expression and story telling I seek to navigate and question our inner most worlds, while my art serves to process the most misunderstood aspects of humanity and the expanse of emotional experience. 

 

I am currently developing a research project and body of work exploring grief integration through oil painting, illustration and creative writing. This series examines my own personal relationship with emotional processing, a philosophical investigation of grief and the human experience, and the study of death across cultures and history. From this series, I am compiling an art book which seeks to normalize conversations surrounding our grief. You can find more creative writing and behind-the-scenes details on my Patreon.
