I make oil paintings, comics, and prints that combine the fantastical and the real with the use of traditional and digital media. My inspiration comes from my love of Renaissance narrative painting, shoujo manga, 90’s romantic comedies, horror films and Jane Austen novels. I explore themes of memory, romance, love, and intimacy through a lens of fantasy, memory, and folklore. My paintings pinpoint a passage of time that encapsulates a particular reverie in the life of the characters I create, while my comics explore their internal world and the narratives that they live on through. I approach each piece, whether a sequential story or a single painted image, with a sense of whimsy, sincerity, and darkness that each character encounters in the created world or within themselves.
