Hand Painted Skateboards
Painter
Illustrator
Drawing and painting were truly my first loves. When I was 17, my life long friend and I decided to start designing and printing skateboards. We were heavily influenced by the aesthetics and culture of skateboarding, but at the time, there was little representation or perspective from the female gaze.
We spent 2 years designing and printing limited runs as well as creating custom, one of a kind pieces by hand. Fascinated by the concept that art could function as an object or be utilized, I chose to focus on portraiture as a way to explore identity and the relationship between creation and destruction.
