The progress of women kind. One woman, every woman facing the confluence of soft but strong, a form of femininity paired with a razor sharp suite. A body in motion running towards a goal that keeps getting pushed further and further away. Hope is stuck standing still, saddled with the burden of a testosterone soaked society that’s high on its own supply but still pushing unreasonable expectations.

Artist's Statement:

I see my art as doorway or portal into another dimension, possibly a dimension within my mind. I invite viewers to observe everything within the aforementioned space. I live for blending pop culture, loud colors, the occult, and symbolism, a juxtaposition of delicate and bold, light and dark, and endless balancing act for which I am the ring master. 

I am constantly looking to explore further past the doorway and beyond the horizon; I thrive on mixing mediums, up-cycling objects and materials, and inverting expectations. I will leave no stone unturned as I forge forward on my journey through the realms of art and self expression. Some day when my journey is done I may settle down in my home town of Saint Albans West Virginia…But until then adventure awaits.
