I am currently exploring themes of childhood nostalgia, childlike wonder, and growing up in my work. My goal when creating is to highlight the beautiful caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation we all endure in an “Oh Bless your Heart,” ironic, charming, relatable way. I am drawn to the tradition of storytelling, the tooth fairy, 2000s-era cartoons, cheap plastic, haikus, and the idea of Home. My goal is to share my interests with my audience through visual storytelling, fond remembrance, and laughter. Creating this work is an active practice of radical self-acceptance. A love letter addressed to “Home.”
