The current works are influenced by my thought process. My artwork represents what my mind is thinking when child like things collide with forced adult hood and become part of you. Much of my works will intertwine subjects in a floating dreamlike atmosphere using traditional brush work and mixing it up with spray paint, pins,shiny things and whatever else she can find in her arsenal..
