Ever since I can remember, I have always been artistic.I remember as a
young girl, I would constantly have a pencil and a piece of paper in my hand,
My free time was spent drawing and coloring while other children were
usually outside playing. My passion lies in macabre art. My paintings invoke
dark emotional feelings that I feel should to be shared with the world. I focus
on emotional and sometimes unpleasant subject matter that usually draws
the viewer in, Its very therapeutic.
My portrait work is something that helps me focus my energy for obsessive
attention to detail. Its nice to have the contrast and keeps me busy.
I continue to push myself as a self taught artist, I challenge myself everyday.
I constantly get asked "Where have you studied fine art??" and
"What schooling have you received?" The best feeling is always letting people
know that I'm completely self taught
