A Note on
Instinct
I grew up inside the city that refused to stay grey, so naturally murals shaped me long before I knew I would become a mural artist.
I hold a paintbrush the way a priest holds a rosary; this is religious to me.
That early captivation became a way of seeing that continues to guide my practice today.
Every single line in my work has a role, just like all of us in the world; it creates something bigger than we understand. My role is magnetized in my bones, the way a bird knows how to fly south: I am the artist, this is what I know how to do.
My work begins by paying attention to places and how they feel; the people, the setting, and the small details that make a space feel like itself. From there, I build images around themes I return to again and again, including ritual, nourishment, meditation, cultural hybridity, and storytelling.
The feeling I get when I stumble across a mural in a city is one of my favourite feelings in the world, and I'd like nothing more than to create that for someone else. I don't really see murals as decoration. They're closer to atmosphere, or memory made visible.
If I can make someone stop for a moment, look up, and feel the same sense of wonder that first drew me to murals, then I've done my job.
