Sculptor | Painter | Philosopher | Creator of Worlds

I create from the places that move me: light-filled rooms, wide open skies, and stories that live in color. My work is rooted in beauty, honesty, and presence — and I believe that art isn’t just for walls, it’s for the way we live, the way we remember, the way we dream forward.

Before the age of ten, I began creating sculptures out of any material I could find, sticks, hemp, and even leaves. I taught myself how to make clay from the very dirt that lived in my backyard. I began painting and storytelling around the same time. My pieces were acquired by neighbors and my journey of art creation was born before I turned 10. I spent most of my early years focused primarily on commissions. In 2020 I released all commissioned work as I wasn’t happy with my art practice. I was only creating what was being demanded of me and I almost gave up sharing my art completely. As I began to create simply because it’s who I am, I remembered the joy and pleasure of simply being me. Today, my art practice flows with play, exploration, and fully from living.

As a woman of color, a global traveler, and someone who’s always followed instinct over instruction, I don’t just make art — I craft experiences. I thrive in partnership with luxury brands and visionaries to reimagine what elegance looks like when it’s lived unapologetically and playfully.

This is more than a practice.

It’s a way of being.
