My work is a manifestation of my spirituality. Across what I create is a magical Fae Realm of whimsy and enchantment. Though when it comes to the messages I attempt to get across through these pieces, they have direct influence from my path as a Buddhist. 

 

When I create art, I create so that the viewer can question their own beliefs. I want them to be drawn in by the surface-level beauty and aesthetics but stay for the real criticisms of our societies or unique perspectives that I have that might be different from theirs. I critique the speed and stressful nature of our lives, how we are praised for pushing aside our mental health for a step up in our jobs, schooling, or relationships. I critique our personal attachments, how so many cannot feel content without the promise of excess pleasure and further rewards. I critique the way we talk to each other, with malice and judgment and fake niceties, things I want to eliminate from my life as they are pointless and only cause me harm. I am a painter, a video maker, a drawer, who does much more because I live my life as an artist; I could never state that I am confined to a single medium, since I look at everything through the lens of art.
