From the moment I first picked up a pencil at age six, art has been my language—a way to capture the beauty, rhythm, and energy of life around me. My passion deepened through my high school art studies, where I explored technique, form, and creative storytelling. 

Later, pursuing graphic design in college expanded my skills, blending traditional artistry with modern digital tools and allowing me to bring ideas to life across diverse mediums. Eager to embrace all forms of creative expression, I have painted vibrant murals across the British Virgin Islands, each one a celebration of color, community, and culture. My work has also reached the public eye through bold, impactful billboards that transform everyday spaces into visual experiences. 

Inspiration flows from the natural beauty of my island home, the pulse of Caribbean life, and the stories of the people who live here. Themes of connection, identity, and transformation run through my art, reflecting a belief that creativity has the power to inspire and unite. 

For me, each piece is not just an image—it’s an invitation to feel, dream, and see the world anew.
