    I enjoy creating graphics based around the natural world with an emphasis on color design and unexpected compositions. I create to release emotions and see my ideas permeate through the physical world. Choosing a color scheme for a design is one of my favorite parts of my process. I often use experimental colors in my work, which is why my art tends to be more fantastical than realistic.

    These two designs represent an internal journey often experience. Sometimes it is easy to be lost in negative thoughts and feel alone, to hold onto moments in the past or be stuck in the future. I have realized when I connect myself to the earth through meditation, I can be grounded and completely present. These works represent a connection to the energy inside all of us. The same energy you feel when you sit in the sunlight and the yellow warmth radiates your spirit. Some days, as I meditate in the sun, I begin seeing vibrant colors under my eyelids. These dancing colors inspire and engender new ideas for me. This is the feeling that guided these designs. Through the simple acts of meditation, grounding, and self-love affirmations, I am excited to be who I am and where I am.
