My work is consistently composed of figural/character-based works and portraiture,
inspired by a deep love of figure drawing and the diversity of facial features. I work with a style
that is stylized semi-realism reminiscent, often, of comic book art and illustration. My work
ranges from digital to traditional media, including graphite, charcoal, ink, and acrylic. Bold, loose lines make up the works I am most proud of, and I often add details to and strongly define the faces and facial structures of the characters I depict. Topics and subjects I tend to gravitate towards include Greco-Roman mythology, classic monsters, and self-portraiture. With my own interests and experiences guiding and influencing the things I depict and the imagery I use. Due to this, much of my work calls to the queer experience, multi-faceted familial and platonic relationships, and more.
‘Pictures of Persephone’ in particular pulls from Greek mythology with the goal of
depicting the gods in a way that feels much more worldwide than most historical depictions. In this body of work, I take influence from the myth of Persephone directly and pull imagery and references from historical works depicting the goddess in question. Imagery I reference ranges from true classical and ancient works, such as red figure pottery and temple art, to renowned works such as Frederick Leighton’s ‘The Return of Persephone’ and Bernini’s statue ‘the rape of Proserpina’. In my illustrations, I also depart in some ways from common depictions of Persephone's story, such as choosing to call to the loving and secure marriage held between Persephone and her husband Hades, instead of the often misinterpreted story of their meeting and marriage.
