Born and raised in Salem, I’ve always felt a call to all that was odd and unusual. Not the cartoonish witches that are shilled out when tourists come to visit, but anything that is seen as out of the norm. As someone who’s struggled (ad continues to struggle) with a sense of self and identity for so much of my life, I make art in the hopes to not only entertain people, but to build. sense of connection, no matter how strange we all may be. Art can unify us and make our communities and relationships stronger.
