Artist Statement
Whether it be the tattoos that cover my skin or my pencil that marks a piece of paper, art is my oxygen and to be an artist is to live. My work is a reflection of myself and the world around me. It strives to find beauty within the darkness while embracing resilience and acceptance.
Memento Vivere or “Remember to live!”
