This post is dedicated to my super close friends who are practically like sisters to me. I love you guys for always looking out and caring for me, the real and the random conversations we have with eachother, lifting me up in prayer and physically (lol), and for always being real and genuine. I love you guys and appreciate you so much! And I miss seeing some of you guys pretty much everyday 😭💕

------------"Adam"------------ My most recent painting, "Adam" is the third painting a part of my series centered around the story of Adam and Eve. In this piece I wanted to reference the biblical story while tying in the social issues of interaccial relationships, the sexualization of men, and white washing of biblical characters. The various flowers and plants symbolically represent the Garden of Eden, the female hands and glitter allude to lustful attitudes towards men; but the glitter also represents God's involvement in creating Adam. And the exposed rib directly relates to Eve being formed from Adam's rib. I'm considering this piece finished at the moment, but stay tuned for further additions to it in the near future. Thank you for all your support and hope you guys enjoy my creation. (at Albright College Cfa)

Here's a new piece that I'm working on. I haven't had much time to work on it or any art in general. These past two weeks have been pretty rough me in a lot of areas. But I'm really starting to realize that you are the only person responsible for how you feel, not because of anyone else or because of any situation. I appreciate all the people who put up with me I'm really greatful for them. And I pray and hope that you guys practice positivity even when it seems like the last option. (at Albright College)

Fun plants + fun people = Happy Autumn To me being surrounded by all of these unique and beautiful plants displayed God's power and ability. He is the artist and creator behind all forms of life! (at Longwood Gardens)

This place definitely deserved it's own post. If you've never been to the Botanical Gardens in DC I don't know what you're waiting for. It was sooooo BEAUTIFUL and SERENE and GREEN. I wish I was still there ❤😩 (at Botanical Gardens of Wildeland Hall)

Here is a piece that I recently did, I finished it maybe 10 minutes ago, this a comission piece. I'm actually quite excited to share this piece because I've never worked with color this way so it was challenging, but really fun and freeing. And this is actually the quickest piece I've ever worked it in total it probably took me about 7 hours to do. I'm really proud of it and I hope you guys enjoy it too. (at Albright College)

In the process of me trying to take a pic of this I knocked my paint water onto the floor so now the carpet in my room is pretty wet, but hey regardless of the crappy lighting in my room I finally finished my painting. In this piece I wanted to highlight the consequences of wasteful living and it's impact on all forms of life on Earth. The painting by Frida Kahlo that I chose to appropriate portrayed a lot of greenery, cute monkeys and dragonflies so on the flip side I created the complete opposite. Also I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who have and continue to support me, I appreciate you guys so much! 😍
