Running Like Watercolor

I create mixed-media art inspired by my favorite places, favorite songs, and the feelings and memories they evoke. My pieces incorporate dreamy color schemes, city scapes, and natural motifs. I reignited my love for collage and painting with the release of Taylor Swift's folklore, inspired by the highly visual fantasies in her lyrics. What started as a hobby for escapism and comfort grew into a more established art practice that I am so proud to formally share. I work out of Brooklyn Neighborhood Arts studios in Gowanus and am a yearly participant in their Open Studios event. You can follow along at @runninglikewatercolor
