My work explores the fragmentation of my life’s experiences with direct influences from plants, nature, and living things. As an interdisciplinary artist, I specialize in traditional media such as oil painting and sculpture. I use figuration and abstraction as tools to engage with the vulnerability of self-expression, drawing inspiration from direct experiences that are significant to me. 
I also translate the energy found in these moments through the visual information, such as mark-making, color palette, and texture, that signifies the energetic connection to each piece. I synthesize these conceptual notions with the formal elements through the materials used. Some artists I take inspiration from are Georgia O’Keeffe, Cecily Brown, and Sam Gilliam. Oil painting is the most fruitful outlet for me to connect with the individual universes I create. I apply colors intuitively and immerse myself in each painting. I use soft materials for sculpture to encapsulate the fluidity of the natural world. Through these processes, I merge the visual information into an abstracted collection of existence.
My pedagogical approach to teaching art stems from building a sense of community within my group of students and sharing diverse perspectives based on the group's diversity. By connecting with the artwork, students can learn from and support one another in this process, which also opens the door to higher learning and more active engagement in the group.
