When I first got a glance at her work, it felt like stepping into an explosion of color. Everything was just so raw, fast and alive, almost like each drawing was thinking and breathing aloud. She entered the seminar room full of energy, and it was an infectious amount of energy, and I think that her artwork matched that energy, which was beautiful to witness. What struck me the most about her work is how each character was constantly shifting and morphing. Nothing was confined to one shape or one identity, and i loved that about her work. It taught me that something chaotic, funny, and messy can come together to create a beautiful piece of work. Instead of hiding the roughness of the medium.

​

Throughout her work, I really enjoyed watching her music video she made for Hollis, for her song Sedative. I loved how everything in this video moved and flowed, and it each loop she created for this video where so satisfying to watch, and the bright colors were also really cool to watch. It felt like it matched the vibe of the music itself.
