About Me
I have always found inspiration in the vibrant tapestry of pop culture, drawing from popular iconic superstars of music and art and the diverse narratives surrounding gender and identity. This exploration is particularly important to me in highlighting feminism and LGBTQ+ representation, where art becomes a powerful tool for advocacy and empowerment.
The portrayal of strong female characters and LGBTQ+ themes inspires me to celebrate these identities through my work. I utilize various forms of media, from traditional painting to digital illustrations. Although popular culture influences my topics of illustration, I also enjoy creating one-ok-a-kind custom art pieces, including personalized portraits that resonate with individual stories and experiences.
The practice of creating custom holiday cards has been a tradition of mine that I am excited to share with you all. It allows for the fusion of artistic expression, humor and fun vibes to share with family and friends. Art is about creating community. Whether through custom portraits, themed art prints, or holiday cards, I hope that my art connects with you on a personal level.
