Multi-media & Mixed-media Artist

“Oftentimes when you hear "Horror" your mind instantly thinks of blood and gore. However I see horror past that. Horror explores intense feelings of fear, shock and disgust. Horror makes people uncomfortable and I want to use those feelings to explore metal health. 

Something that is fiction is a lot less scary than something that is reality. Psychological horror usually leaves a longer lasting impact on a viewer because it's terrifying that something like this can in fact exist in our reality. This genre is used to evoke intense emotions in the audience. 

This is what made me feel so drawn to this genre.

I want to use horror to help visualize how people struggling with their mental health view the world around them. I think we as a society downplay the severity of mental illness and how it affects the lives of people suffering from these illnesses. The media often romanticizes mental health conditions or demonizes them. 

My goal is to change through my artwork.”
