My work explores identity through everything except the face. Texture, pattern, and dimension carry what expression usually would. Every piece built from layered surfaces, patterns that repeat and break, and a constant push toward something you feel more than see. I've been painting since I was four years old. Now, at seventeen, it sits alongside boxing, school, and horse riding. Not because I balance them with discipline, but because I don't know who I'd be without any of them. Painting especially was never a job to me, and it was never about the money. It's the one place I go to think without having to explain myself.
