Bio

I’m a painter and collage artist from New York.
I employ a freewheeling cut-and-paste aesthetic in my art-making process. While my artwork revolves around composition and design, an underlying narrative sometimes spotlights inequities in society, humanity, the environment, and culture; I sample information from my experiences and rework them into a visual narrative that I perceive.
