This ongoing illustration series explores bold, high-contrast visuals rooted in maximalism and emotional intensity. Each piece balances chaos and control, sharp black lines, surreal motifs, and flames of symbolism that echo rebellion, fantasy, and desire. The compositions are intentionally crowded and alive, leaving no space untouched; every spark, drip, and swirl contributes to a feeling of motion and urgency.
This collection was born out of creative block, a moment when structure and polish felt impossible, and the only way forward was to let go. It became a visual journal of emotion, freedom, and imperfection. Every stroke is raw and instinctive; color becomes language, texture becomes thought.
The series blends digital paint, handwritten fragments, and impulsive mark-making to mirror the chaos and honesty of what it feels like to be human and stuck, yet still reaching. It’s expressive, messy, and unfiltered — a rebellion against overthinking and an embrace of feeling.
These pieces remind me that creativity doesn’t always have to be controlled or pretty. Sometimes it’s about letting the art make the mess for you, and finding clarity in the aftermath.
This body of work lives between softness and strength, where sentimentality becomes art direction. It’s romantic, raw, and unapologetically personal, a love letter to feeling too much in a world that asks us to be less.
The tone is intimate and reflective: a diary translated into visual form. Every stroke is intentional yet imperfect, allowing the texture of watercolor to echo the impermanence of feeling. The use of handwritten text and symbolic imagery; roses, lingerie, butterflies, and celestial motifs transforms simple objects into emotional storytelling.
Created during the pandemic, this series became a creative refuge, a return to softness, joy, and nostalgia. Inspired by the cozy escapism of Hallmark movies and pastel daydreams, these illustrations celebrate the small pleasures that make life feel sweet again: dessert counters, cozy cafés, and pastel skies that promise calm.
Each piece is intentionally playful and polished, blending digital illustration with a vintage charm. It’s a reminder that joy can be art too, that creating something light, colorful, and kind can be an act of resistance in uncertain times.
This body of work is pure visual comfort: sugar, warmth, and whimsy, an invitation to slow down and smile.
