I make art about life, illness, death, femine identities, survivorship, reincarnation, queerdom, healing, childhood, bodies, fantasy and memory. I am a painter who gets distracted. I make things that are funny, that are soft and tender. I make things that are painful, that are raw and indulgent. I exist in a world of conflict and communion. I've found connection and overlap in my queer identity and my artist identity. I create from a need to survive. to survive and be heard.
