About Thursdae
I’m a Brooklyn-based visual artist whose multi-disciplinary practice explores the human body across health, identity, and community.
Artist Statement (perpetually under construction)
As an artist, I perform my subjective reality. While technique and concentration go into every movement of my hand, I’ve always gotten stuck on an ever-looming lack of free-will. There’s a unique guiding force in every artist, one only they can employ. I hear this called “style”, but style has always been something I can build, something I can create. This is an irreplicable combination of the way my hand holds a brush, the pressure my muscles have learned to use, the way my eyes differentiate between colors; it makes my art, well, mine. Sure it’s ego, but in my overanalysis I am reminded of human touch; human touch, where there is divinity, where there is hope;
human touch, where there is art.
I began my professional career with studio art training at Booker T. Washington Visual Arts School (Dallas, 2016-2020). During that time, I presented in group exhibitions at the Hudson Foundation Gallery (Dallas, 2016-2019), and spent a year interning for Pegasus Tattoo Studios (Dallas, 2019-2020). Since then, I’ve worked as a sign artist for Trader Joe’s (Brooklyn, 2021-2025), self-contracted makeup artist for indie fashion brands (2021-present), and freelance tattoo artist (2024-present). Currently, I’m working to expand my discipline in fine art mediums like painting, showcase work in independent gallery exhibitions, and take on community based design projects.
