My name is
I am an LGBTQ+ artist from New Jersey.
Ever since I was little, my dream career has been in the arts: popstar, fashion designer, and eventually, makeup artist. I went with the latter and got my Beauty and Special Effects Makeup diploma from Make-up Designory NYC in 2016. A few months later, I started doing embroidery, and my whole career path shifted; I wanted to make a living at this. I wanted to make and sell art.
Long story short: On that journey, I found many different things I enjoyed doing and took on every single one in full force. (It's the ADHD.) One thing led to another, and now I'm making YouTube videos, working on digitally illustrating my mom's children's book, and making absolutely anything I want with the help of my Cricut.
Check out my shop, scroll through my blog, and click on my portfolio to see more of my work. It feels pushy to recommend checking out my YouTube channel after saying all of that.
I also want to add that I did look at the recommended guidelines for websites, shops, blogs, and YouTube channels. However, they all go against my neurodivergent nature, so I'm not following them.
Artist Statement
I am a complex individual, but why I make art is simple: I love it. I love taking ideas and bringing them to life. It's such a thrill for me when I can pull things from inside of my brain and make them tangible and visible. "Create the things you wish existed" is a quote that I love, and it is how I would often describe myself.
My passion for art spans many different mediums. Some of my mediums include but are not limited to acrylic paint, glass, fiber, resin, collage, mixed media, photography, video, and digital. That said, I don't have one sole focus. I love creating, no matter what it is, from embroidery to stained glass to cardmaking to digital illustrations. If I'm capable, I'm doing it.
I find inspiration in almost anything because I love colors and shapes, the main things that make up our world. So why wouldn't I feel inspired by nearly everything I see? If I had to narrow it down, I feel most inspired when I'm exploring abandoned places—they're like a muse to me.
I have many goals regarding my art; I want to do really great and impactful things with my art someday, but my main hope is that people feel something good when they look at my work. Whether that good feeling is happiness, peace, inspiration, or something along those lines—I hope my work gives people a moment of what they didn't know they needed. Better yet—I hope that people can feel the reason why I made it.
