Drawing and painting with real, tactile materials brings me life. I am whole-heartedly delighted by the imperfect humanness of it.

I am passionately anti-AI. It’s bad for the earth and it’s bad for humans.

My favorite mediums are a combination of gouache, cut paper, and colored pencils. Although sometimes I lead the community in painting murals right on the street! →

I am currently seeking agent representation as an author-illustrator.
