My current work primarily explores installation and public art, using found objects and typically objects of meaning relevant to my personal experiences. Mediums used in my other works include printmaking and artist books, and formerly acrylic and watercolor painting. My work frequently discusses social issues including class disparity and sustainability. Other times, my work is an act of catharsis to my own upbringing and relationships with myself and others. Strangely enough, the two points of interest often have ties to each other, another point of realization in my recent works.
My graphic design work separately serves the areas of my other creative interests, most often music and fashion. I employ my own design style across these areas, expanding my techniques with consistent projects taken on.
