My body of work is deeply influenced by Salvador Dali’s use of dream time and unsettling imagery. I use my work to express my emotions and viewpoints on the world that surrounds me. Each day presents its unique challenges as I navigate life's struggles. My dyslexia adds an extra layer of difficulty, making my mind work three times harder than that of an average person. In my work, my intention is to shed light on the difficulties I face, especially in seemingly simple tasks like writing and reading, which others often take for granted.

My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Salvador Dali, Laura H Rubin.
