Statement

Notions of privacy and disclosure are at the core of my work. My portraits deal with the reality of illness while balancing a thin line between expression and discretion. While these topics could be divisive, the use of color, humor, and childish aesthetic keeps my work welcoming.  I am interested in the internal and external factors that compose one’s identity. My work presents a personal side of an ever-increasingly political issue through a girlish lens of soft aesthetics and sad whimsy.
