about
bio
I am currently based in the Tampa Bay area. I obtained my BA at New College of Florida in May, 2022. Alongside expanding my artistic body of work, I am currently building my graphic design portfolio. I work as an apprentice under Mark Aeling at MGA Sculpture Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida. At MGA, I use welding, carpentry, clay modeling, and other sculptural skills, to bring life to designs created at MGA.
I am working to develop larger community art projects, to stimulate change and interactions in the community around me.
work
My work often speaks of the human condition in relation to nature, and the way that our civilization has become disconnected from this natural world we live on. In this way, my work is about recognizing our place in the universe—and about how we can find balance between ourselves and all things around us.
I feel deep gratitude for the beauty of our planet and the creative power she provides us with. My work is deeply rooted in this belief—it is inspired by this beauty, but also by its fragility. I paint images that show how easily things can be destroyed. They remind us that we must protect what we love so that it will continue to thrive.
Altogether, the art I create comes from my intuitive connection to the Earth and the heavens. As an individual ruled by Jupiter and Venus, my expression is often grandiose and romantic. This can be seen through my jack-of-all trades approach, through interdisciplinary art. From sculpture to painting to digital design—and I am always interested in experimenting with new mediums.
current projects
I am developing my brand WETPAINTDREAMS, which promotes my current professional work but also functions as a commercial platform for commissions and merchandise.
At MGA Sculpture Studio, I work on the fabrications team, and assist in the creation of large scale sculpture projects. Our media ranges from stainless steel, copper, clay, iron, and more.
