Visual Art – St. Louis

In my work, I strive to express my own unique way of seeing and being. I endeavor to express the spirit of the contemporary bohemian, and to arouse viewers to a new consciousness of the beauty, depth, and interconnectedness of the world. Employing a saturated color palette and luminous and textural media ranging from illustration markers to textiles, I hope to inspire my viewers to engage with the present moment, in order to evoke compassion and harmony with the earth and its inhabitants. Utilizing chromatic colors, dynamic line work and complex multi-­‐ layered patterns, and moved by a “handmade” ethos, I aim to create art that radiates beauty and buzzes with visual meaning. Please join me on my voyage, as I weave new stories of radical awakening and fresh perception, in the hope of re-­envisioning our reality, reintegrating the cultural with the natural and rediscovering the truths that have too long lain dormant.
