I create self-portraits. While these self-portraits center on me and my individual experiences, many of the themes within them are part of a broader narrative. That is not to say I am trying to speak for others. Rather, self-portraiture allows me to process what is happening around me in a way that provides a springboard for myself and others to discuss the divergences and convergences in our experiences. In addition, I create landscape paintings as a way to both appreciate natural beauty and have a break from looking at my own face.
