Hi there! I’m a young artist from Los Angeles, California, currently pursuing my MFA at Otis College of Art and Design. Having come from a family with many artists, I was surrounded by creativity growing up. This has helped fuel my artistic endeavors. Something that has been a large inspiration for my work is nature, more specifically the ocean. I’m always in awe of the beautiful colors and shapes of coral reefs and how they play a large part in the ecosystem. The ocean holds so many mysteries that are still being discovered that I love to explore through painting. This is a theme that tends to be present in much of my work. Painting is a huge source of enjoyment for me, I hope you enjoy my work as much as I did making it. Thank you for stopping by.
