I am, as we all are, a storyteller.
My art uses the lens of fashion and style to express the story of our myriad ways of being beautiful, being affirmed, being seen. seek to honor and celebrate diversity, to create an inclusive platform to reflect our myriad identities and our narratives.

FASHION+ART
It’s taken a journey of years and experience to realize my freedom from these artificial and limiting constructs. I choose to use the power of my art to represent the LIMITLESS beauty I see in the world. I use my Designs and Illustrations to reflect and represent all bodies, all of our fashion and style choices and stories that have been underrepresented for far too long! See some of my fashion artwork here.
FINE ARTS
I come from a classical training in the fine arts, which offers the foundation for the experimental hybrid techniques and approaches that she currently employs in her artwork. My graduate studies led me back to the studio at Parsons School of Design, studying under Master Artist Mark Saltz and Master Printer Michael Kirk.
