My work expresses my desire to escape reality and live in a subconscious dream world.  I’m interested in the idea of narration and storytelling.  I combine images and stories from my childhood, imagination, dreams, and illustrate them in a playful manner.  I’m inspired by the surrealist movement, fairytales, and children’s books
