With regards to my art, I create the work I do to comfort people who are just like me. My art is not for everyone to understand.

As for inspiration, I look for themes that I'm very familiar with, for example: hardcore, punk, goth, and the queer community. Some materials I very enjoy working with are acrylic, oil, colored pencil, and graphite.

This piece highlights the people I get to be around all the time. American traditional being very big in the hardcore scene has always had an impact on me since I started going to shows when I was 12 and seeing it over and over again has made me appreciate it more than ever.
