Professional Summary
Contemporary painter and multidisciplinary artist exploring stories of resilience, identity, and underrepresented voices. Rooted in lived experiences, mine or others, my work reflects the beauty and struggle of human triumph while creating space for others to see themselves and their communities. Through painting, public art, and collaboration, I continue to expand my practice while building meaningful connections that amplify art’s role in representation and belonging.
