Describe your style of work
Through my artwork, I seek to celebrate individuality while acknowledging the inherent sameness that unites us. I hope to promote messages of being gentle, being loving, and being yourself. Each piece is designed and hand-crafted in my home studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn where I love to use mixed mediums to guide my different expressions.
How would your friends describe your personality
If described as an inanimate object, my best friend would say silk pajamas blowing in the wind.
What are you most excited about at this time in your life
Recently I’ve decided to try new styles of illustration and introduce new characters in to my drawings. I’ve been super excited (and nervous) to buckle down, draw, try new mediums and refine my style!
What’s one thing people don’t know about you
I worked in marketing/PR for a record label before I decided I needed to move to new york and study art and design.
What’s inspiring you in life right now
23 year old Tyler Mitchell – who will be the first black photographer to shoot the cover of Vogue
What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve done in your life
Camping in Zambia on the Zambezi River
How would you define yourself in three words
Scorpio. Scorpio. Scorpio 🦂
Best piece of advice you’ve received
Open your eyes and keep falling. Because if you’re not falling you’re not moving the limits
