I was trained in realism as a pre-teen. When I started showing symptoms of mental illness in my teenage years, my work began to shift into surrealism. No matter where I've been on my journey, from mental illness, homelessness, and substance abuse, to sobriety and stability, my art has accompanied me.

When I was a pre-teen in 1997 - 1999 (Age 11 - 13) I loved art and had some raw talent for drawing. My parents nurtured this talent by enrolling me into many different art classes and art schools. In these classes I was taught to draw the world as I saw it before me.

Teenage Years (2000 - 2004)
Age 14 - 18
​
In 2000 (Age 14) I started showing symptoms of bipolar disorder. As my mental health began to deteriorate, my art began shifting. I started to use street drugs and alcohol as a way to self-medicate. I still drew the world as I saw it before me, but my perception of reality was quickly changing.

Early 20's (2006 - 2010)
Age 20 - 24
​
In 2005 (Age 19) I crashed into a deep depression. I stopped writing and drawing. A year later, in 2006 (Age 20), I picked up a pen again. I cleaned up from hard drugs in my early 20's however I continued to struggle with alcoholism and my mental health.

2011 (Art Career Begins)
Age 25
​
In 2011 (Age 25) my life began to change. My art took on a new direction. I began to incorporate geometric black and white patterns into my art style. These patterns became an integral part of my work, for as I drew them they brought on a meditative state which helped to balance out my depression and mania.
I officially turned my art into a business in 2011.

2019
Age 33
​
By 2019, I was now sober from alcohol however I had begun using marijuana daily to cope with the side effect Parkinsonism which was being caused by one of my psych meds. I began to enter a drug (marijuana) induced psychosis, which prompted my pieces to once again become more surrealistic. I also began keeping little sketchbooks that I call Art as Therapy. Although all my art has always been a form of therapy, the purpose of these sketchbooks was to let go of technique, subject matter, creating larger pieces with the intent to sell, and start creating less time consuming pieces just for me.

Art as Therapy: Madness Journal (Age 33)
​
My Art as Therapy sketchbooks continued in 2020. I only created a few larger pieces that year as a drug (marijuana) induced psychosis, that had begun in 2019, engulfed me. Covid didn't help. Isolation drove me further into using, finding excitement, joy and peace in the world my psyche was creating. Through quotes, writing, and illustrations, my Art as Therapy books touch upon the world I was living in. I had a slip with alcohol in February 2020 and have been sober again since then.

In the twelve years since I officially turned my art into a career, I've gained an adequate amount of recognition through licensing, publications and having my products in retail locations. My technique and style continue to evolve, as does my subject matter. My art has, and I'm sure always will be, a reflection of my life. I look forward to seeing what I create next! Thank you for joining me on this adventure.
