About
I am a sophomore painting major at the Cleveland Institute of Art. As a queer, trans man, my art is heavily influenced by LGBTQ+ messages and tones. A large goal of mine is to help normalize trans bodies in art. While I have a focus on painting mediums in my college education, I have a passion for a variety of mediums, including but not limited to: digital, traditional, and sculpture.
