I'm a Caymanian multidisciplinary creative whose practice exists somewhere between structure, freedom and manic experimentation.
Having lived and studied in Hong Kong, Canada and the United States, different cultures, lessons and environments taught me to stay curious, adaptable and comfortable with not knowing exactly where an idea will lead or how many versions i'll have to create before it's final.
With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design, I naturally approach creativity with precision, clarity and intention. My work still needs spontaneity and the exploration of the relationship between control and chaos.
Whether I'm designing, painting, or convincing myself that "one more small adjustment" won't take another hour, I'm constantly looking for new ways to create something. Usually with a paintbrush in one hand, too many open tabs open and a caffeine buzz.
My practice is about embracing curiosity, adaptability and creative freedom. But that's exactly what it is—a practice. One where I'm always changing and getting better. Give me a challenge outside my comfort zone and I'll probably say yes before I've fully thought it through. Fortunately, I usually figure it out ;)
People often ask me when I started drawing; the honest answer? I have no idea. Without sounding too cliché, I've been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. (Hence that baby photo of me with a pencil in hand as proof.)
Shoutout to my mom because while many artists have stories about being told to find a "real job," she was too busy buying me more paint. And to my aunt, who I spent many nights with, as she transformed blank walls into murals across the island. I'm happy to say I've learned from the best.
Whether I'm creating a piece that connects, painting a wall that becomes an Instagram photo op or bringing an odd concept to life, I get to create for a living, paint murals, be a little weird and work with pretty colours.
It's a full-circle moment that I'm grateful for every day.
