My paintings are born out of a love of procedure and hedonism. Flushed figures, vibrant ornamentation, and visual specificity all feed into the ever-developing canon of the universe I paint for and in. I draw upon repeated characters or symbols to stitch together a mythological narrative that influences each work, creating a detailed and specific story from piece to piece. My paintings are about sexuality, identity, spirituality, intimacy, mythology, and a love for all things decadent.
