About

Artist Statement

I use several different media to create my art, primarily graphite, ink, watercolor, and acrylic. I often make scribbly, loose lines and I enjoy creating unique textures in my artworks. I commonly use reddish colors, brown, and black, but at times I deviate from these colors as well.

My art combines elements of stylized cartoon or anime illustrations, neo-expressionism, and realism. I’ve had a variety of subjects in my art, including characters, creatures, and settings/landscapes. Most recently, I have been creating very chaotic art. the main figures of my pieces are usually surrounded by mad scribbles, random blocks of color, and countless phrases/words/symbols. I do this because I don’t like leaving a lot of empty space and because the overwhelming and jarring vibe that it creates feels right to me.

I like making art that is purposefully unrefined and sloppy looking, this was mainly influenced by the similarly unrefined and chaotic nature of punk/punk-adjacent rock music — which I am a big fan of — and the style of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s paintings. A lot of the subject matter and the stylization of my art is largely influenced by the internet, culture, novels, music,  and television I consume, as well as my friends.

I create for many reasons, but mainly, I just make things because I like to share my creativity with others.

Bio

I am a Sacramento-based Visual artist, currently studying Biology and Fine Arts at Sac State University. I have always loved art and I hope to make a lasting impact with what I create. Currently, I am only a hobbyist but I strive to enter the professional world of art. I also plan on expanding my artistic skills and learning how to use multiple media, including writing.

​

Along with making art, I love reading, listening to music, and learning about nature.
