Project Description:
My work is heavily influenced by fantasy, surrealism, and ethereal subject matter. Growing up, I often looked to stories – whether that be books, plays, or songs – to seek advice. Uhlman’s Reunion taught me about the complexity of friendship, and Keyes’s Flowers for Algernon reminded me of the complexity of society. In stories, it seemed my problems were never unique, and that’s what drew me to storytelling.
In my work, I use storytelling techniques from literature and performance to guide my composition, color, and narrative. Because I primarily work with themes of tradition and family, my work is inherently nostalgic.Try it!
