Mission

I believe the world becomes more beautiful when we stop trying to make everyone the same, accepting difference and self expression.

I create art that celebrates difference, challenges prejudice, and the challenge of inner calm within chaotic world, celebrating the beauty of natural world — particularly through the lens of the neurodivergent experience in a largely neurotypical world as a late diagnosed AuDHD artist, rescue dog parent, returning to CrossFit for mind and body complex individual.

My work is about accepting self within uncertainty, honouring individuality, and showing that being misunderstood or different is not something to fix, but something to value, walking path as you are, despite the loud voices online.

Judging what we don’t understand won’t heal the world — curiosity, empathy, and shared humanity will.

What I Stand For

I make work for people who have felt like outsiders, misfits, or aliens growing up — neurodivergent people, struggle with social, and sensory and the hustle, expressive people, and anyone who sees the world a little differently.

Belonging with others who don’t belong.

I believe in:

• Accepting people exactly as they are, without asking them to become smaller or more palatable

• Encouraging personal growth without shame or pressure

• Self-expression over perfection

• Comfort, honesty, and individuality — inside and out

It’s boring to all be the same. Our inner worlds are as varied as our outer ones, and both deserve space.

How I Work

I create the work I want to see in the world — not just what is expected, fashionable, likeable or guaranteed to sell or safe.

That sometimes means making things that are quiet, strange, a little eerie or unpopular. Other times it means returning to ideas that resonate both with me and with others. to not niche but circle back to from observation, animals and the more conceptual messages. I trust that making work with integrity, patience, and care is more important than chasing visibility, fame, or trends and by following my path it will create a community far beyond those things.

I paint and draw a lot, to quench the thirst of self-expression.

Not every piece is the same level of detail, but what matters to me is the process—whether I was focused, present, and enjoying the act of creating.
I ask myself if the work feels true to me, feels like my work and if it reflects something I genuinely wanted to say/convey.

If it does, I put it out into the world.

Art resonates differently with different people, and sometimes it reaches someone who didn’t yet know they were looking for it and need it.

My goal is long-term sustainability rooted in trust—trust in the process, in my voice, and in the people who connect with the work. That includes those who purchase pieces, as well as those who engage by viewing, reflecting, commenting, and sharing. The value of this work goes beyond a financial exchange; it’s an exchange of energy, meaning, and connection. Above all, I want the work to be seen while creating a creative living, career and business. I believe both can live in the same space,

a byproduct of living an authentic creative life based on common humanity and connection .

HOW I SHARE THIS WITH THE WORLD

I share this message by living it.

Through the art I make, the words I write, the way I price my work, the conversations I have, and how I treat people — especially when no one is watching (even if humanity as a 8.4 billion group annoy me :P the individual still has the universe within them) find the others, find my people.

I choose honesty over performance, connection over scale for numbers sake, relationship and connection valued, and presence/showing up over perfection.
