I’m an artist from/living in Philadelphia, my art is about sustainability and the environment or just scenes from my life.
Here for community, inspiration, and admiration.

What I like about collage is that mostly you’re using found materials.
This one was inspired by the rising global temps, made with a discarded fitness magazine

Making art that talks about pollution is hard because who wants that on their wall? Anyway here’s some prints I did about plastic waste. #screenprinting #serigraphy #prints #plasticwaste
