"I create emotional, subtly surreal large-scale acrylic paintings about my chronic migraine disease’s neurological symptoms as I experience them in nature – think Alice-in-Wonderland meets Narnia. I developed my own adapted divisionism painting technique to represent what my neurological migraine optical distortion looks like and feels like. Daily, I see unsettling but mesmerizing visual artifacts that either partially obscure my view or are a filter. What is painful and disorienting with my disease gives me a key to share the otherworldly beauty of the natural world next to us. My artwork is an ode to joy despite pain and revealing the beauty of the mundane."
