My paintings focus on memory, identity, and the ties within personal history. The work is informed by my own lineage. Using old photographs that my family has collected over the years, I have created a series of oil paintings that portrays where I came from, and how my family has shaped the artist I am today. A lot of my paintings feature my father, who is my main influence as an oil painter. When reflecting on his life through these old photographs, I can find similarities between the life he lived at my age, and the life I am currently living. From work to college courses, and family matters, these similarities inspire me to create something that ties all our experiences together. Overall, I have created these paintings to invoke nostalgia within myself.

My sculpture work consists of assignments from the art courses I have taken at Florida State University. I am inspired by the construction process of each piece. Through my three-dimensional art I have learned how to sew fabric, and weld metal. I use these processes to create whimsical sculptures that are meant to inspire fun, and reflection.
