"As a self-taught artist, I believe and create from a place of “anything is fair game” with what can become a piece of art. From found materials and objects bought at estate and thrift stores, to more traditional paintings and illustrations, I let my imagination connect with the medium. I have a strong affection for the discarded by creating new forms of construction and fabrication. I have repurposed wild-posting advertising, discarded on the streets of Los Angeles, into vibrant wall art. Since 2023, I have gathered and curated over 60 pieces of artwork. I only utilize what I find, with no embellishments. If something is graffitied over, I use that and see the graffiti taggers like invisible collaborators in this work. There is a power in giving new life to these colorful ads that have then become trash. I hope that viewers will feel inspired by the new way I have used these forgotten materials."
