I’m a multidisciplinary artist. I create drawings, poetry, and sculpture. The central themes in my work are resilience, decay, and liminality. The goal in my work is to create doors, through which we can meet ourselves and each other with compassion. Nature imbues endings & loss with meaning and beauty- a lesson that has profoundly helped my PTSD and lead to organic matter becoming one of the primary materials in my work. Many of my pieces mold, grow beyond the recognizable form, or come undone which draws attention to the temporary nature of all things. It feels poetic to represent a living thing/ experience through pieces that are also bound by time.

In addition to organic matter, reutilization and pushing mediums beyond their conventional limit are central in my work. Giving purpose to discarded items is a deliberate act of gentleness towards endings. It also reinforces that what is present is enough rather than habitually discarding for the new. This can look like reutilizing candlewax, salvaging string, and incorporating forgotten children's toys. My work often bridges mediums; playfully experimenting with the imposed limitations. Like all categorizations, medium and genre can help us understand and interact with art but they can also hold us back from asking good questions, accepting new experiences, and learning about ourselves. Engaging categories in a flexible way, opens a conversation with the viewer to evaluate what about these definitions matter and why it matters to us. Some examples of this are writing poetry on tea bags, combining artwork and print, drawing with thread, and incorporating food 'waste' in art.
