In both my academic and freelance work, I frequently combine elements. The repetitive pattern of folded paper cranes appear alongside living cranes captured on paper, trapped in ink and paints; the transformation of these paper cranes into a phoenix as witnessed through a controlled burning on my back porch; and most recently, characters from one video game seen in an another game's art style, tied together by the western zodiac.

My art is for myself, my friends, and kindred strangers, companions made in both offline and online spaces. Perhaps due to this, the majority of my freelance art is done digitally; however, I have an increasing interest in printed or physical items, working to build sufficient stock to table at a local anime convention. Even so, with a growing collection of supplies and materials from semesters spent taking classes off-and-on, I do not mind leaning into opportunities for traditional when they arise. Experiences in one medium overlap others, allowing for ideas and projects based in mixed-media, the natural progression from combining elements, which I will continue to explore!
