Based in Rochester, NY. Creating dark watercolor paintings and handcrafted kanzashi for people who refuse to be ordinary.

One summer morning when I was 4 years old, I woke up before the rest of my family and made my way downstairs to the living room. Once I made my way to the living room, I started arranging some colorful wooden blocks of various shapes and sizes into the shape of a peacock. Once my family began to wake up and see my work, they began questioning each other as to who helped me. After an hour of questioning each other, they realized I did it myself.



My family encouraged me to continue my pursuit of art. When I was young, I lost multiply people close to me. Art helped me figure out what I was feeling and helped me communicate to others what I was feeling. While attending Salem academy, my freshman year I won the Art purchase award with a colorful self-portrait. I was eventually asked to leave in my junior year due to the pressure of the amount of school work and not having enough time to express myself creatively. With my family's encouragement I started attended the University of West Florida in 2014 and entered their BFA program in 2016 and graduated in 2018.

My family has a long history of art and engineering. My great great grandmother Mildred Davis Keyser was a Revivalist potter who made german inspired redware. Her work was on exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in an American Craft exhibition and at the 1939 World's Fair in the Pennsylvania Pavilion. And in an exhibit in 1996 at the Historical Society of Trappe and the Perkiomen Valley. Some of her work is in the Philadelphia Museum of art.

Her daughter, June Adams, was my great aunt, and her daughter Holly taught me as much as they could about our family history with art, at least what we know.

I want to keep the family tradition alive, I want to keep doing what I am passionate about. It's the only thing I want to do with myself. It's hard to survive as an artist in this world.

I want to show people how the art process works. Invite you on this journey, see what inspires some of my works.
