Painter, printmaker & emerging arts educator

Born in Tübingen Germany, raised in Newcastle, UK, and studying in Savannah, GA. I'm a painter, printmaker, and emerging arts educator who is leaving their mark in the world, trying to create change.

The human experience is something that is gifted to us only once. In our lifetimes we achieve wonderful things, experience tragedies, create memories, fight for change, and create unforgettable stories. These stories are something far more powerful than words are able to express, which is why I paint. 

My work focuses on portraiture and the human figure, using painting as a way to convey powerful and complex emotions, telling stories through my immersive pieces about the queer community, diverse cultures, and immortalising those who have made a change, particularly those within the LGBTQ+ community. My current series explores the perseverance of the queer community throughout history. Despite society’s attempt at erasing our existence, we will always keep fighting back and always continue to persist. Authenticity and love are one of the highest forms of protest. Our visibility is political, which means our joy is power, our authenticity is resistance, and our love is essential. When I paint a portrait or a figure, I'm not just painting their story, I’m painting their presence and the impact that it made for the queer community to exist as we are now.
