I am an Illustrator and Designer from Philadelphia, PA. I enjoy creating conceptual art, book covers, editorial pieces, and portraits using naturalistic and stylized elements. In my work, I draw inspiration from the exterior and interior world around me and use this information to create dynamic pieces. I always strive to tell a story visually with my work, making sure there is meaning behind it. There are times when my artwork can be cheerful and light, but there are also times when it can be dark and ominous.

    uniE621 The World Where Mind and Reality Split - Mars
    “The World Where Mind and Reality Split” is an eight-piece series that explores the depths of the human mind that are affected by mental illness. Using digital media, these works tell a story through two characters: Mars (protagonist) and Reaper (antagonist). Mars represents the inner voice within me that struggles to understand why we live in a world of constant conflict, and Reaper represents the voices that try to create distress and havoc within me. By expressing struggles and emotions that are difficult to express in words, these pieces invite the viewer to be part of the journey I am undertaking between myself and my inner demons. The viewer is also invited to experience these same struggles and emotions as a tool for creating empathy for those with mental illness and showing how pain can be transformed into art. illustrator series conceptart characterart conceptdesign visualdevelopment
