Doc-u-menting

My work stems from an inner desire to understand and document the personal growth and emotions I encounter throughout my life. Most of my work is based on the idea of documenting my quarter-life crisis, discovering my true journey, and embracing it. I often use a variety of mediums ranging from found objects, mementos, photographs, magazine and vintage book pages, gouache, watercolor, inks, and lots of glue. More often than not my journal work is collaged based with illustrations, color, and free verse musings on my current state of mind.

I have been journaling for years, as a way to unwind, comprehend and capture the experiences life throws at me. It started out as a release, almost meditative, and has now become complete second nature to me. I find that I love Moleskines the most because of their durability, aesthetic and charm of endless possibilities. My journals are always by my side, each one for certain concepts and goals. Forever growing, forever documenting.
