Background
At fourteen years old, I began teaching myself art with subtle advice from my mother. I fell in love with the process of creating something from scratch. The challenge of improving my skills over time was incredibly rewarding. Art quickly became a way for me to express my thoughts and emotions when words could not.
Through my traumatic upbringing, I began using art as a way to escape. Many of my pieces are inspired by my own story and I hope to inspire others as well.
Studies
I continue to study anatomy because I believe you should never stop learning.
Exploring
Different Styles
By studying techniques and styles from other artists, I have been able to expand my skillset.
Commissions
From posters to tattoo designs, I have created many pieces. My plan is to acquire a plethora of different artistic abilities.
Some of my personal favorite pieces...
‘self’
After nearly 26hrs, I finished my first self portrait. This piece means so much to me; I wanted to showcase what it felt like to have multiple mental illnesses.
Starting from the bottom, the hands breaking the jaw are representative of GAD (generalized anxiety disorder). They are desperately attempting to stop myself from choking on my anxiety.
The hand on top is representative of C-PTSD. The frantic hand is trying to rid myself of haunting past events.
The small person in the dark room represents my depression and independence. I had to rely on myself an incredible amount too young, because of this I struggle allowing people to know my problems.
‘Life n Death’
I created my reindition of Death back in high school. Death has been described as beautiful so I created the physical manifestation in a female form, also seen above in ‘studies’. Here I wanted to showcase the duality of life and death. Life, represented by the infant, is holding Death’s scythe while Death amusingly admires.
