“Queer artist raised in lederhosen with a pet buffalo on a floral farm by an eccentric immigrant father and a defiantly strong mother.”
I’m a queer artist, creator, collector, and tinkerer who grew up in rural Pennsylvania on a floral farm, raised in lederhosen with a pet buffalo by an eccentric immigrant father and a defiantly strong mother. My career in the fashion industry immersed me in a vibrant world of artists, artisans, and craftsmen, but over time, I found myself climbing a corporate ladder that pulled me further from creativity. The disconnect left me feeling unfulfilled, and toxic work environments triggered unresolved trauma, leading to a profound mental, physical, and emotional breakdown.
Stepping away from that world, I turned to therapy, meditation, and my art practice to heal and rediscover my voice. Today, my work is a testament to resilience and self-expression, exploring the human condition through painting, sculpture, installations, and interactive art. Creativity brought me back to life, and I’m passionate about using it to connect with others and share stories that matter.
