"Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable"

- Cesar A. Cruz

I seek to create art that is personal and idiosyncratic.  My illustrations explore unknown worlds, while my paintings take some of that imagery and push it further with material exploration.  I seek to provoke my audience into reflecting on their own place in life through unusual imagery and textures.  I was born in Belgium and raised in New York City.  I graduated from Bard College in 2014 and am currently living and working in New York City.
