""how are you doing today?" (and other questions that i don't have the answers to)"

is the title of a series comprised of multiple self portraits I did from the most honest place that I knew, in the moment that I was in.

I can only speak for myself, and for the first time I allowed myself, maybe kind of forced myself, to speak from a place that never sees the light of day in an effort to escape my comfort zone, and to push myself as an artist.  What resulted was a series that does exactly what was intended, and though there are some things that I need to come to terms with and heal on my own, I am painfully proud of this collection and my growth as an artist.   Please be advised that these pieces deal with my own depiction of specific feelings and mental health issues, if you're not feeling up to that right now, please prioritize your wellbeing first and foremost, and I'd love to have you back when you're ready xx.

I consider this piece to be one of my most important and inspiring pieces. This painting marked the first deep dive I had taken into exploring the depth of emotion in any of my work, and it will always have a special place in my life.

An abstract take on a classic view of the city I love so much.  I wanted to deconstruct the classic silhouette and give the town some personality and clarity, while keeping it unique and oiginal.

One of my most personal and literal pieces.  I sent myself back in time to the age of 19, halfway through my first adult relationship.  It's the story of a young man who was the epitome of naieve, and knew nothing other than to live life on someone elses terms.  He had everything that he always though would make him happy, but somehow still longed for another life.
