Hello!

I'm an explorer in every sense of the word. It is my infinite curiosity that drives me to seek new environments and experiences in the physical world, but also new depths of consciousness in the realm of the mind. As a visionary artist, I explore the darker side of human nature, exposing bizarre unconscious desires and portraying the human psyche as inherently animalistic, irrational, and fearful. The characters in my drawings bear a presence that is at once divine and unsettling, as if they are sickly Gods, once pure but now corrupted by the human stain. On brighter days, I paint vivid skies over fields of wildflowers, but the brighter days are few and far between. Darkness persists. I have come to accept the darkness, though it still feels like a parasitic entity beyond my own being and psyche. She's a haunting Muse, and she is a gift, but also a burden.

I am twenty-three years old with a bachelor of science degree in International Business from Champlain College. My goal in life is to marry business and art, either as a curator or as an art dealer.
