Love Our Differences. Embrace Your Chaos!

A “Beautiful Mess”!

I am a Philadelphia-based artist specializing in charcoal, colored pencil, soft pastels, and textiles. I love upcycling, fashion, the color pink, ethnography, and geography. I am fascinated by people and all of our beautiful differences. I aim to represent diversity, love, inclusion, and acceptance through my work by embracing what makes us all unique. In my world, people are not valued for what they can do but for how much heart they put into what they do. In it, everyone is included and has something to offer to make life beautiful.

I am a proud weirdo! The way I see it, it’s okay to not be “normal”. It is ok to be different. It is ok to not “have it all together”. It is ok to be a mess! Embrace your chaos. There is beauty in it and the world needs that.
