Visual Art – Washington, D.C.

Coming from a family of artists with a variety of disciplines, I take everything they have given me and combine it into my own work through mixed media. I find juxtaposition fascinating. I'll often use both oil and acrylic paint in a single piece: I love the challenge of combining two opposing materials and achieving a cohesive visual story. My work often features bright subjects surrounded by or imbued with a Grimm-esque fantasy or a twisted and dark mood.
