I plan on going the distance, our way…
When working with me as your illustrator and designer, you can expect a deeply collaborative approach rooted in my diverse background and experiences. Based in Baltimore, MD, I draw upon a rich tapestry of artistic influences and community engagement to bring your vision to life.
At the heart of my practice lies a dedication to social justice, identity exploration, and community empowerment. By seamlessly blending various artistic mediums, including painting, photography, ceramics, and community engagement projects, I aim to transcend traditional boundaries and spark meaningful conversations through art. With a keen eye for detail, a passion for storytelling, and a collaborative spirit, I strive to exceed your expectations and deliver solutions that inspire, engage, and leave a lasting impression.
My journey in the creative field has been shaped by taking courses at esteemed institutions like the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) to spearheading community events as part of the Young Adult Community Organizers (YACOs), an organization that I and other co-producers founded to provide high quality art-based programming to Baltimore Youth. I have cultivated a deep understanding of the power of art to foster connection, dialogue, and positive change.
Whether collaborating on a mural project, designing promotional materials, or conceptualizing immersive installations, I am committed to leveraging my multidisciplinary expertise to create impactful and visually compelling experiences that resonate with your audience.
My style uses vibrant colors and different line weight variations in complex ways. It allows me to design my subjects using a sliding scale of realism.
My art is centered around, but not limited to, Queer BIPOC peoples and their cultures. I focus on the intersectionality of humanity. Queer BIPOC people seem to emulate their individuality in such beautiful and unique ways, if I do say so myself, and I want to celebrate them for it. Intersectionality within a person, cultures, and ways of being should be celebrated.
I believe in doing so, it will allow us to reconnect after global trauma like the pandemic. I intend to use these projects as the foundation for similar projects of different mediums, such as comics, fantasy novels, and podcast and radio shows to further explore the dialogue of acknowledging intersectionality in a marginalized society.
