Stories from the Studio

I wanted every single person holding a canvas from my shop to know that this isn't just a casual weekend hobby or a quick sale to me. This is my energy, my heart, and my personal journey rendered in paint and minerals.

For years after high school, sharing my art was something I only did in small, quiet ways. I didn't have a fancy college degree or formal studio training. Everything I know—from painting techniques to experimenting with mixed media—is 100% self-taught...

My intuitive process isn't just driven by heavy rhythms—it’s guided by roots deep in my bones, even the ones wrapped in mystery.

Ever wonder what creation actually looks like behind the scenes? It isn't cute outfits or sunlit studios—it's heavy metal, a sad bun, and an overcrowded space. Dive into Chapter 1: High Frequencies & Heavy Hands to see how chaos, sound, and a little Arizona dust come together to forge every piece.
