My paintings discuss the human body and how its form can have intense effects on mentality and identity. I depict anatomy like the canvas itself, manipulating the shape to express complex shapes. Through this, bright color palettes are used as emphasis on the prominent emotional connection of anatomy to personal autonomy and perspective. Recently, I have emphasized the focus of my work to not only be about my experiences within the body, but also how the world around us can influence our mindsets and identity to an overwhelming extent. Politics has entered the realm of my subjects, as the state of American policies and culture have tremendous influence on how we view our independent thought, and I find it important to highlight those subjects in a bold and harmonious way.
