My work encompasses drawing, painting, and digital illustration. A coalescence of elements of nature and ether, many of my paintings explore themes of conscious expansion and mysticism. Through sharing my art with the world I aim to inspire others to tap into their own well of infinite creative potential. I believe that as we find our way back to our hearts through community, art, music, and movement, we can truly heal and grow.
