“I am a “Minimaximalist” ( a Minimalist + Maximalist ) in all aspects of my life. I appreciate the simple complexities that make up our world. Growing up with an unbridled imagination + curious nature, I spent my fondest memories playing “Hidden Pictures ”puzzles in my favourite childhood magazine. There was always something so captivating about looking at the picture + having to find all the hidden objects within.

Collage & limited edition casual wear allow me to visually piece together a moment in time to share my inner thoughts, feelings and stories that influence me as an artist. It is my love for the arts, fashion, music + graphic design that inspire me to bring my own hidden pictures to life.

For anyone who sees my art, I want to recreate that same experience I had looking at “Hidden Pictures.” I want you to feel something, to delve deeper + find your Diamond in the Rough.

This is an art diary. A creative outlet to express my thoughts + feelings through encapsulated experiences inspired by daydreams, words of wisdom, surrealism, human connection, + synchronicity.”
