Paint-covered studio work surfaces with scattered palette knives and acrylic paint tubes in bold colors—gold, lavender, black, and teal. Organized chaos of creative tools, no paintings or landscapes displayed.

Art Studio

Every piece begins in the body — in the way sound moves through a room, the way color shifts a mood, the way a moment lands differently when you experience the world as an autistic person. My work is shaped by that sensory depth, by the wild tenderness of motherhood, and by a melophile’s relationship with music — where a single chord can hold an entire feeling. These are not paintings about what I see. They are paintings about how I feel it.

Alongside the paintings lives a deep devotion to language. As a creative writer and autistic artist, I am endlessly attuned to the texture of words — how a single phrase can ring in the body the way color does on canvas. I write the way I paint: from a lexophile’s love of rhythm, metaphor, and story, and from a neurodivergent perspective that notices what is usually left at the edges. The work that emerges is both visual and verbal, rooted in the daily, sensory fullness of motherhood and in a commitment to speaking from the truest, most tender parts of my experience.

Heavily textured abstract acrylic painting created with palette knives — thick impasto ridges and dragged strokes in gold, airy blue, and deep black. No brushwork. Raw and bold.
