ART HISTORIAN + MULTI-DISCIPLINARY ARTIST
FINDING FLUIDITY THROUGH THE BINARY
TEXTURE, LAYER, MACRO +MICRO
I am an art historian, model, and multidisciplinary artist exploring the intersections of materiality, identity, and storytelling. With a background in Art History and Philosophy from UC Irvine, my work is informed by a deep understanding of visual culture and historical narratives. My creative practice spans ceramics, abstract painting, and textile art, allowing me to experiment with texture, form, and tradition in contemporary contexts
Beyond my studio practice, I work as a model, collaborating with independent designers and creative labels to bring artistic visions to life. My unique presence has given me opportunities to merge fashion and fine art in dynamic and unconventional ways
Through my work, I seek to dissolve boundaries between disciplines, embracing both historical research and hands-on creation as essential elements of my practice. Each piece, project, and collaboration is an inquiry into movement, material, and meaning—an exploration of where tradition meets transformation. I believe in the power of art to challenge perception, evoke emotion, and create dialogue, and I am committed to continuously expanding my practice through experimentation, collaboration, and critical engagement with the world around me.
