Growing up on cartoons and comics, my work centers on narrative visuals. Either through a single image or an actual series, I aim to create a character that draws the viewer in with visual motifs as clues to their identity and story.

I explore themes of fantasy, and past lives and of the destruction of things we do not understand; the quickness to dismiss things that are different from us.

In the piece Seurat’s Creature, I incorporated a figure that I could not make sense of in George Seurat’s 1884 painting A Sunday on La Grande Jatte. A figure that scares me as it seemingly stares right back at me, with its unexpected and unfitting minimalistic form in the midst of naturalistic, sunny figures. Its unexpected appearance in a girl’s home brings up questions of fear, of patience, and of communication.

In a world that seems to be falling apart by hatred and cruelty, how do we handle the ‘other’? My story mirrors Seurat's smoky charcoal drawings, with a great emphasis on light and shadow. My minimalistic style is meant to accentuate the presence of the two characters in a constricting and small space, where it is understood that their choices are always interconnected.
