Artist Statement
As an artist, I tend to gravitate towards a darker, more gothic artistic style. I have always been inspired by the media I consume, such as horror movies, gothic animes, etc. and incorporated it in what I make. Simultaneously, in my art, I place my own experiences and challenges in life with every brush stroke, and hope that others can see my story throughout.
