# About me

I am a neo-gothic installation artist specializing in Digital Media and Fibers. I also moonlight as a graphic artist designing t-shirts for a geek clothing company.

I've been making art since I could hold a pen or pencil; it has been the one constant in my chaotic life and has literally saved my life. I live to make art; I couldn't stop any more than I could stop breathing.

I have a BFA in cross-disciplinary studies and plan on earning a master's as well as a PhD. In the mean time, I'm learning about life after undergraduate and how to make art on my own terms.

My work is largely about mental and emotional issues as it has been a vehicle for me to heal from severe trauma and mental illness. My work often focuses on suffering - that of myself and others. It is a means to express frustrations both personal and global and attempt to create change in myself and the world. Thus my work is also about the transformation from suffering to transcendence and the role of the individual in this change.
