About us

I have loved nature for as long as I can remember, she spoke to a deep rooted part of me that only she could reach. Growing up, I was always finding ways to connect to nature and I could never get enough. As I started to develop hobbies, I was really drawn to photography, and if you look through the timeline of when I started getting into it, my first subject was nature. I just started taking pictures of flowers, and trees, and bodies of water, the sun…. anything I could do to try to capture the beauty of it all. Nature is still a huge part of my photography to this day. Eventually, I started to see the beauty in the pictures themselves, then I started to work with them and edit and explore different ways of viewing them. This led me into my artistic expression, and from there, I just took off. I stumbled into art and started drawing and painting and I surprised myself with skills that I never even knew I had. Now, my house is littered with more art than I know what to do with, and my dream is to be able to share it with the world.

Throughout my art journey,  I continuously found myself gravitating back to the female form and to a lot of pink which was really abnormal for me. There were a lot of themes of death and rebirth in the form of snakes and skulls, which were very on brand with my everyday tough, more masculine vibe, but I began to realize that my softer more feminine side always came out through art, through creation itself. I came to embrace this duality more and more over the course of my journey and it is the truest expression of myself. Soft feminine warmth with a little bit of harshness, danger, or rough masculinity mixed in. I try to always incorporate that duality in all of my art, in my everyday life, and in my name: the rad gypsy. The “rad”—crusty chopper loving, always dirty, built for speed, never quite put together, the darker and a little more masculine side of things-mixed with the gypsy running barefoot, hugging trees, being present in every moment, shining light into every part of life possible, more feminine side of things. That’s me. That’s how I show up in this world. That’s the type of people I hope my art finds and inspires. So here’s to my journey, here’s to your journey, here’s to the rad girls, here’s to the gypsy girls, and here’s to the girls who are a little bit of both, there’s room for us all. Thank you for being here, I appreciate you 🩷
