Artist Statement
I am a visual artist and a drummer. Driven by noise, rhythm, anxiety, and the musicality of life, my work treats the rigid surface—Aquabord or wood—like a stage for improvisation. The muse of each piece sets the tempo and establishes the time signature, creating a structure where I can play on and off the beat, or break away entirely into solos of vibrant riots, visual vibrations, and crescendos of color.
Through these watercolor, gouache, and mixed-media soundscapes, I navigate a chord progression of complex emotions—exploring the tension between chaos and comfort with a touch of hand-painted digital trauma. I anchor these abstract impulses with approachable subjects like therapeutic landscapes, portraits, and mended stuffed creatures. Here, glitchy disruptions, painted stitches, and vibrant overtones serve as metaphors for emotional unrest and renewal—a reminder to embrace life’s fragile fabric, tend to my wounds, and play on.

Poetic Statement
with mending strokes
my stormy mind quiets
leaving thick bold lines
and colorful riots
a rhythmic dance
of noise-weathered tones
Intimate muses
and raw overtones
visible stitches
fragmented marks
glitchy disruptions
and healing sparks
chatter within
that’s hidden is bled
from my soul
through my hands
discarded
shed

Poetic Statement #2
painting a path
with noise healing motion
therapeutic tones
and color commotion
wound sewn creatures
weathered and tattered.
stuffed with hope
and dreams unshattered
lustful longings
of desires unknown
sensual moments
yet to be sewn
musical madness
and improvised noise
fragmented figures
engrossed in their toys
beautiful rhythms
scribbled and splattered
brushed with notes
melodically scattered
lines of distress
and strokes of drama
to carry one through
the scars of life’s trauma -
