Throughout the years, my practice has developed from various experiences throughout my life such as distinct memories or moments which I deem meaningful to my personal growth. It has expanded into a way to communicate my thoughts and emotions. In terms of context, I have previously and recently been focusing on identity and the influence of certain figures in media and pop culture in my life; how they each have had an effect on the way I have grown into the person that I currently am. I work mainly with acrylic paint, occasionally dabbling into watercolour mediums, focusing primarily on portraiture and surrealism, taking inspiration from artists such as Cindy Sherman.
