I'm fascinated with art and visual culture, the intersection between art, science, and technology.

Never one to get lost in coloring books or stay within the lines, I embrace drawing and painting as a means of self-expression. Doodles quickly overtake single sheets of paper and can no longer be contained by small sketchbooks, while paint splashes over the borders of canvases and splatter living room walls and carpets. Collages expand across bedroom floors, overtaking piles of magazines and glue bottles stacked haphazardly amongst newspaper clippings and post cards. Much of my mixed media work has been inspired by the courses I took at Boston College under Andrew Tavarelli and Alston Conley.

Captivated by the vivid worlds of nursery rhymes and fairytales and eager for more stories since I was a child, I've also delved into the legends preserved by cultures around the globe and have become enchanted with Ancient Egypt and Greek and Roman mythology in grammar school. As I continued to explore other cultures and different forms of art and storytelling, I've begun crafting my own stories and poems. I was introduced to spoken word in high school and was encouraged to start performing by my English teacher Elizabeth Purcell after sharing a poem on racial stereotypes.
