I started this passion project at a time in my life when it felt like everything important to me had fallen apart. Art was the thing I kept coming back to when I would feel a sense of restlessness and aimlessness. I had emotions inside of me that seemed to be breaking me at my seams. Art became the cathartic release I needed during the chaos.

It doesn't matter to me who likes it because I fell in LOVE with the process of creating. I decided that my aim was going to be to paint whatever I felt like painting without making a ton of corrections. So instead of editing a piece to force it to be what I wanted it to be, I approached it with ease. I started some of my favorite pieces simply by adding layer after layer. Often, I would step back and think "oh god, where is this going?" 

When I look back at the start of this process, I can see that my art was teaching me to keep going in life regardless of the mess I saw. And that birthed this passion project.

I love creating, and I love it when someone looks at a piece I've made and sees something I have never considered before. It feels like some sort of special portal into the subconscious mind. You'll also see my style change up every once in a while when I decide to try something new. Follow along with me on my journey. I think creating is essential to being human, so I hope it inspires you to create in your own life--in whatever way suits you.
