Bio.

I am a creative artist, on a spiritual journey, living my human experience as a black transgender woman, one day at a time.

As a child, I taught myself how to play the piano by ear, and I grew up to attend Pittsburgh CAPA, where I became classically trained in the piano. During this time, I taught myself how to play the guitar, and this path led to me becoming a music producer who has collaborated with artists and producers. Through both my successes and my rejections, I’ve gained invaluable knowledge from the lessons within the outcomes. 

I’ve also developed a love for drawing abstract art, some of which is in my portfiolio. Another creative outlet of mine is writing, and it has grown to hold a very important space in my life. I love writing short stories, developing characters, and building entire universes for all sorts of stories to unfold. As of late, I’ve recently finished the development of two intrinsically tied universes, and I have taken the steps to manifest this into the world for others to experience, and find meaning in as they see fit. 

Over the years, I’ve experienced the concern of wondering if I would be successful as an artist, as I worked many different jobs. During these times, the challenges that I’ve faced in my life, have fueled my creativity in one way or another. I take my traumas, my faults, and all of my experiences, and I channel them into my work. To me, I think that’s successful. In all of the complexities of life, I’ve managed to make some type of mark, not being as afraid to be seen, knowing that I also deserve to be heard, and being able to express through my art: What I see, what I hear, what I think. This website, my photography, my drawings, my music, are all marks that I’ve made in this life.

As I continue to put my mark out there and become more vulnerable in my process, that’s continuous success that I can be proud of. I might not be exactly where I want to be just yet, but even then, I’ve come a long way from where I was.
