Artist Statement: As a visual artist, my objective is to tell stories that help me convey my thoughts about religion, mythology, society, and identity. I creator abstract and mixed media art that is textured and layered using materials such as acrylic, oil pastels, glitter, paper towels, dried flowers, screws & nails, glitter, and much more. Lastly, as a writer and actress, I use painting as way to visually express the worlds and characters i create and embody.
