Growing up in an environment that encouraged creativity while emphasizing the importance of my roots shaped the way I approach both art and life. It inspired me to pursue work that is meaningful, intentional, and rooted in the stories and experiences that have influenced me.

Visual art has always been one of my greatest passions, with painting holding a special place because of the sense of peace it brings me. Photography is another creative outlet I love, and I often combine the two by transforming the moments I capture through my camera into paintings. My work celebrates the beauty found in everyday life, encouraging others to slow down and appreciate the details that often go unnoticed. I also draw inspiration from other forms of expression, such as music and dance, allowing their energy and emotion to shape my creative process.

As an advertising student at the University of Oregon, I strive to bring this same curiosity, creativity, and perspective into every project I take on.
