About me
Process and Influences

I make art to tell stories. As I come from a military family, my understanding of the world had been shaped by stories of war; whether they came from family members, movies, books, or memorials. As I've matured, I've come to question the way these different sources are rhetorically constructed: who is represented in dominant stories about the military, and who is left out? By investigating themes of radicalization, combat, and reconciliation on an international scope through my artwork, I attempt to answer these questions.

I primarily work with digital tools like Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint, as well as physical media like oil and acrylic paints to create my illustrations. However, I also like to incorporate watercolor and pastel elements into my digital pieces to lend them a textural element unique to physical artworks.

I'm currently living in Frankfurt, Germany on a Fulbright grant. In 2026, I graduated from the University of Maryland College Park with a dual Bachelor's degree in English and Studio Art. In addition to that, I've been working as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer since 2020. I love birds, running, swimming, and good books. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me!

I do not use any generative AI tools to create my art or come up with concepts.
