I know the price tag on original art can feel out of reach—but money isn’t all I care about. If you’ve been a long-time supporter or feel a deep connection to a piece, but can’t swing the listed price, reach out. I'm open to trades for goods or services (tattoos? skills? weird shit? let’s talk), or working something out that honors both your budget and the time and soul I put into this. I’d rather my work live with people who get it than collect dust. Let’s support each other outside the system.

I painted this piece back in 2022 as a way to explore how pleasure serves as a distraction from the uncertainty that hovers over every other aspect of our lives. It came from a place of powerlessness to change the world around me, and how my coping mechanisms were veiled attempts to avoid facing the traumas and fears I had clung to for years. I wanted to capture those feelings with cacophonous colors, references to various corners of pop culture, and overload the audience with information.
I paint the fronts and backs of my canvases because, like people, I want the outward appearance to be impenetrable without careful consideration. If the viewer removes the canvas from the wall to see what's behind the mask - the back of the canvas - they'll find more to contextualize the overall piece.
