Artist Statement
I am a printmaker, painter, and collage artist living and working in Queens, New York. My work is rooted in an existential search for self and community and driven by my personal experiences with queerness, relationships, and spirituality. I paint portraits of friends, roommates, and lovers that explore the nuances of queer relationships and the emotional complexities hidden in banal domestic moments. Using images of hope, despair, catholic iconography, and nauseating self awareness as building blocks, my compositions present tender reflections on queer joy and intimacy.
