How do you work through your complexities and confusions? Maybe you talk to your friends. Or a therapist. But where else do you find a safe space to hold what’s troubling you, what’s unclear—to look at it from different angles? Sometimes it helps to see someone else in their process—someone with their own version of your anxieties, your histories, your unknowing. We each look through our own lenses—but maybe they’re not that different.

My work begins in that space. When faced with challenging topics of identity and belonging, I am compelled to reflect, learn, and know more about myself. My art is an exploration of my complex interiority. And yet, alongside that, I am enthusiastically curious about you. What are you feeling? What are you saying to yourself? To the person next to you?

“I want to create community deeply connected by self-reflection and inquiry.”

We all have a desire for deeper connections with ourselves and others. When I am working on a piece, I sculpt a collage of perspectives into a conversation. As you experience my work, you enter that conversation—beginning to end and back again, seeing from different angles, returning with new understanding. Maybe all you needed was the space to look anew or again.

Making art for me is a path to stillness, insight, and self-awareness. I begin in confusion—inner turmoil I can’t yet name—and through painting, printmaking, and sculpture, I work through that conversation until something becomes clear. Sculpting allows me to move subtractively, revealing what was always there, gradually defined.

I know a piece is finished when I come away with an understanding of my thoughts, my ideas, my feelings, their complexities. You can see all of that in the final collage. You can move through the work, from beginning to end and back again.

But it is still only the beginning: What do you feel? What do you say to yourself? To the person next to you?
