VISUAL ART

I’ve always approached drawing as a way to externalize the images, interests, characters, and moments that occupy my mind. And in my neurodivergent brain, that means working across many distinct styles, mediums, and subjects.

From watercolor to ink to colored pencil and marker, I try to capture the ideas and sensations that occupy my thoughts. My inspirations range from fashion, drag, anime, and pop culture, to the extra-terrestrial, nature’s patterns, the human body, and the beauty and inventiveness carried by queer and disabled folks.
