I am an artist who works with print, paper, craft, and paint. I aim to depict the everyday moments of my life, primarily focused on love, death, and nature. As a trans and nonbinary artist, I find it important to depict the trans body in moments of romance and intimacy. For me, being trans in itself is traumatic and full of tension. I work to release this trauma through my work by depicting the trans body as loved, softly and wholly. I find that it is my connection to nature, to the cycles of death and rebirth, that grounds my work as a form of healing. My vignettes are accompanied by my visual language of abstraction through shapes, embellishments, plants, and color. By abstracting the surroundings of my subject matter, I express the emotion of the moment. Because my work is a ground for self reflection and healing, I work with labor and time-intensive mediums. The act of making with my body is baked into the meaning of each piece, imbuing it with the physicality of my love.
