Artist, Photographer, Writer
As an artist and queer creative, a majority of my work focuses on creating extraordinary scenes and impressions that go beyond the mundane.
I’ve revived my love of art and aesthetics over the past two years, working on slowly but surely developing a portfolio of all original works.
All the while, I’ve been engaging and interacting with other creatives from around New Jersey to expand my horizons and to foster connections with the wonderful talent that lives within the Garden State.

Fortes:Digital Collage
Moody Photography
Poetry of Various Styles
I have spent years playing around with different art mediums, eventually realizing my preferred and primary medium of collage. Photography and poetry are secondary, but I do have collections for both that I will debut in the near future.
Collage in particular is an interesting art form, as its interpretation changes depending on who is crafting one. I began experimenting with collage art through cutting up modern and vintage magazines, newspapers and more to create what is known as “analog” or “live” collages. As my life has grown to demand more of me, I needed a way to reduce cost and time, gradually shifting to digital collage, which I have refined with my own signature style.
My art summons all things colorful, maximalist, and queer in its visual expressions. Recurring themes you’ll see in my work reflect ideas that align with divinity, regality, beauty, romance, freedom, and spirituality.
Enjoy my gallery of works, it will expand over time. If you have any questions about my artwork, or wish to connect with me to learn more, please feel free to reach out.
