About

I am a passionate artist who specializes in collage, ink, painting, and digital illustration.
With a foundation in fine arts and digital design, I bridge traditional techniques and modern tools to create work that is both raw and conceptually grounded. I have studied photography traditional/digital in college.
My most resent project; I am an Art resident of Thailand, building an interactive photobook of Spirit Houses in Chiang Mai with crowd funding and a metal-album video montage.
