'I work in layers, typically overlaying inks with acrylics and oil. I am often moved to create as a catharsis to help me navigate the depths of my emotional experiences. I live with a rare condition which affects less than 2% of the world's population and causes me to feel emotion more deeply than most. This can be excruciating at times, but when channeled into my work, births the most pure, raw exemplifications of what it means to live in my world. My art saves me.'
