Through my art, I ask myself and my audience to deeply consider what it means to care for ourselves and humanity. I seek to dismantle cultural normalcies, uncover hidden experiences, and be transparent about facets of my personal identity as a starting point for shared understanding, healing, and change within society. Tying in my own poetic language of duality, I show it is possible to have a layered, complex relationship with who we are as individuals and the moments that have a lasting impact on us.
My creative process is guided by intuition and spontaneity; I allow decisions to unfold in the moment and I respond to the materials as I work. While embracing imperfection, my artwork reflects unguarded states of being. Through experimentation, contemplation, and an inclination to hold the outcome loosely, meaning surfaces organically from pieces, inviting varied connections among viewers. I create what I call “a collage within a collage,” layering and repeating visuals to generate movement within more abstracted pieces. My work exists in the tension between carrying the remnants of grief, trauma, and the fragility of the human condition, while offering hope for transformation, renewal, restoration, and abundance.
