Hi! I am Jellyfish. I exist here, in this universe, trusting that the unknown currents of space and time will guide me to places, ideas, dreams and feelings meant for me. Ideas about death and life; and how they are connected. I explore these cosmic connections with imagery of bones and goddesses wrapped in a sci-fi fantasy lens. And in my exploration of these things, I found that these stories called to be shared.

I truly believe that our closest connection is our ability to share and tell stories. I want us to see our own truths, our own experiences, reflected back the same way flowers reflect stars: surprising and obvious. I am forever curious about our world and the various mediums available to be used to showcase the love I have for our world, to create art that is powerful and calls each of us to connect with our shared, interlaced universe.

The universe is wide and always expanding. We can't always know or be prepared for what happens. I hope we can greet each other like passing comets; with awe and well wishes. I invite you to float through the possibilities like a jellyfish on the galactic currents and see where you end up.
