Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, I was initially drawn to veterinary sciences, growing up with the idea that I'd become a veterinarian. However, life is filled with many uncertainties that are beyond one's control.

These uncertainties led me to embrace art as both a desire and a necessity. I completed my BA at Humboldt State University, and there, I made the decision that becoming an artist would be my ultimate pursuit. This realization and desire propelled me to pursue a Master of Fine Arts at the San Francisco Art Institute, and I received an MFA in 2021.

“ANGST”

I am for art, like Sartre's soul in crisis, A quest for meaning in existential abysses. Melancholy strokes on a canvas of fate, Yearning for creations I've yet to create.

I'm the Lars von Trier of life's heavy toll, Akin to "Melancholia," a melancholy soul. A somber night's art, in shadows I seek, The essence of existence, in every stroke and streak.

Like a plastic bag drifting on a bustling street, I fail to find beauty in the world's heartbeat. I long for the art that's hidden deep within, Desires unspoken in our civilized din.

I am for art as banal as abstract design, A child burning ants under the sun's radiant shine. Loneliness in a crowded room, I'm the paradox in view, Like Basquiat's "Riding with Death," I embrace the askew.

I'm something amiss in a card game's blend, Paul Cézanne's gaze, a mystique without end. Filled with absurdity and life's fragility, Like Giacometti's "Walking Man I," I explore our mortality.

As vapid as a Michael Bay film, I may seem, Yet, like "Wanderer above the Sea Fog," I dream. Always self-searching, in quest of meaning's spark, I am for art that delves deep into the dark.

I lay in soft grass on a breezy day, Where bonds form, and memories stay. "The Kiss" by Klimt, love unexplained, A force unbroken, forever retained.

Solitary at a café, lost in thought's embrace, Like Hopper's "Automat," in a reflective space. "The Scream" by Munch, a timeless refrain, An artist's heart yearning for wanderlust's reign.

Lost, scared, lonesome, in the world's endless sprawl, I'm an artist consumed by the unknown's call. In the future's enigma, I forever dwell, In the canvas of life, I eternally tell.
