Rather than presenting polished narratives of healing, I explore the darker terrain most people are taught to hide: suicidal ideation, internal conflict, shame, survival, and the strange beauty that can emerge from confronting one’s own shadows. My work asks viewers not simply to observe, but to recognize themselves.

Each piece is an act of translation—turning experiences that once felt unspeakable into something visible, tangible, and human. Through that process, my work becomes an invitation: to sit with discomfort, to dismantle shame, and to remember that even in the darkest moments, connection is still possible.

I currently live and work in Portland, Oregon, where I continue to develop multidisciplinary projects that challenge the boundaries between personal confession, public dialogue, and collective healing.

“staYING”

A short film created in collaboration with musical producer, Blaine Counter (Graffick), and cinematographer, Brendan Cleak (One Apparatus)

OFFICIAL TRAILER (2026)

Staying follows one woman’s passage through suicidal ideation, despair, and the long climb back toward herself, unraveling the shame, silence, and hidden wounds she once believed made her unworthy of light. Through intimate reflection and unflinching honesty, it traces the fragile thread of survival—illuminated by small acts of grace and the extraordinary people who helped stitch her back together. What emerges is both a personal reckoning and a universal offering: a hand extended through the darkness to anyone who feels unseen, too heavy, or too far gone. In transforming vulnerability into connection, the film becomes a quiet beacon—a reminder that even in our most private suffering, we are never truly alone.

WITH LOVE, please die

This incredibly vulnerable exhibition explored the artist’s own mental health and processing of some of the darkest moments they had to faced. In hope of opening conversations for others and to help destigmatize discussing mental health, the body of work brings monsters into the light. By sharing the challenges we face internally, we’re able to connect through our shared human experience and hopefully remember that we are not alone. This collection was debuted at Elixir Coffee Bar Gallery as part of their featured artist series.

NEVER DEAD FOREVER

The Never Dead Forever exhibition delves into the ephemeral and eternal, showcasing how life perpetually renews itself through the process of decay. Each piece is a testament to the resilience and perpetual nature of life. This collection was debuted at Goblin Shark Emporium as part of their featured artist series.

progression

“Progression,” is the adaptation of the “Stay Golden” collection. Inspired by some of the darkest moments and most challenging experiences, I sought to transform this darkness into works of art and that gives texture to emotions. This process has allowed me to heal from so much and now become a vital tool in my creative practice and personal life. I aim to share this tool, my art, and my story in order to open safe and honest conversations around mental health and raise suicide awareness. This collection was debuted at Maya Moon Collective as part of their featured artist series.

This collection encapsulates a traumatic and painful period of life, but is inspired by the determination to survive and the necessity of staying true to one’s self through the most challenging of times. This collection was debuted at BraveHeart Gallery as part of their featured artist series.
