I am a self-taught/experimental artist who started painting in 2015 to deal with an intense, over preoccupied, compulsive mind. During the day, I am a scientist, but whenever I get home or just before I leave in the morning, I have to draw, paint, or sketch something. Art heals my crazy brain, allowing me to express in a colorful way my abundance of intense emotions, including anxiety, depression, and a LOT of love! Experimenting with different techniques, without formal training or guidance, is the most liberating part to me of creating anything.
