I’m thrilled (and riding this high) to share that I have three separate series that made finalist in the AI Design Awards 2024—in the Conceptual & Fine Art category. Each selected series represents a different emotional truth, woven together through surrealism, symbolism, and my continued exploration of AI as a creative partner.
This honor is deeply personal, and I’m grateful beyond words. These images reflect not just what I create, but why I create—and the causes and communities that matter most to me.
🌺 Flourish: A Garden of Us
Flourish is a visual love song to connection—between people, between nature, and within ourselves. Lush florals, celestial gradients, and dreamlike forms explore the ways we bloom through transformation. This series leans into softness as strength and honors the quiet beauty of shared becoming.
🖤 Brave and Beautiful
Created as a tribute to the LGBTQA+ community, people of color, and anyone who’s ever felt unseen, this series is a declaration of power and presence. These fantastical figures wear their strength like armor—radiant, defiant, and deeply alive. Brave and Beautiful is a reminder: we exist, we shine, and we are unstoppable.
🩸 Fractured Voices: A Visual Manifesto for Women’s Rights
This series is a visceral, surreal response to the global fight for women’s rights and bodily autonomy. Each piece is a reflection of rage, resistance, and resilience. It captures the heartbreak of systemic injustice and the primal urge to scream for change. Fractured Voices is not just art—it’s protest, love, and fire.
Why This Matters
Being a finalist in the AI Design Awards 2024 is more than a personal milestone—it’s validation of what happens when technology meets emotional storytelling. AI has allowed me to move faster, iterate deeper, and build visual languages that speak to my soul.
These pieces were made with intention and heart—and to see them recognized is a moment I won’t forget.
To the judges, to my fellow artists, to everyone fighting for beauty, truth, and representation: thank you. I see you too.
