I have always painted through out the years, but it was always tainted with “this doesn’t look good,” or “this isn’t true art.”
It wasn't until I went backpacking where I found a deeper sense of freedom. I allowed myself to break free in so many ways. I was on a deep personal development journey. Discovering patterns, traumas, and really looking inwards about my life.
When I was in Indonesia I started to go to the local art store, and I started painting. I found an art style there that was really magical. Big eyes, lips, hearts. It was messy and I only created for fun, not for it to look “good.” It was pretty cool, and from there I didn’t stop.
When I came home from my trip I hit a big depression, and really was fighting with my old self to my new self. All I could do was sleep, eat, and paint. And so I painted. Honestly, I was surprised how cool my art was. It was messy, weird, strange. But it was free.
I didn’t care so much what it looked like, I only cared about creating. And it really just blew up from there.
I have been on a beautiful journey with my art since. My art since I have been letting it be free, has been in 5+ stores, a really cool therapy office, a restaurant in the coolest town ever : ASBURY PARK NJ, and a big mural in a restaurant in my hometown!
My dream is that people see my art and are inspired to live their life with more magic, play, weirdness, depth, and allow themselves to be free. To see the greatness. To use my art as a mirror for your own individual sacredness. My art is transmutation of pain, a place for joy, and a way I decorate life.
