My current visual art practice is rooted in exploring the visualization of emotions and dialogue between childhood and adulthood. My work centers joy, non verbal positivity, and the tension between the presence and impermanence of childlike wonder.

An artist collaborator of mine, Soleil (10), asks-

Would you rather be a child or an adult forever?

My work is visually attempting to answer that question—though it is one that can never be fully answered. Recurring themes in my work include visual depictions of emotion, collaboration, and the transformative power of young people’s perspectives.

This drawing series, "A Renaissance", explores themes of love, grief, change, transitions, and the artistic influence that young people have had on my life, career, and form language. These drawings reflect a post–four-year hiatus return to immersive art-making, simultaneously representing endings and new beginnings. This work draws heavily on iconography and symbols—hearts, shells, stars, spirals, ribbons—most often found in the work of young artists, ages four to ten. These motifs present a purity, pith, and directness of emotion: a snapshot of the presence and beauty of each passing moment.

Visual reflection is at the core of my artistic practice-both individually and in conversation with the community.
