“I think there’s some magic in silliness, in plastic, sparkles, and glitter!

My work leans into the cheap and tacky and wraps it in a colorful package. The weight lies in the rendering. Seeing these objects as important subjects while attempting to capture each highlight, shadow, and hue forces me to take them seriously. My dream is that my work brightens days, energizes spaces, and resonates with its viewers!”
