About
The work draws from personal growth, healing, and the dynamic relationship between my inner world and my external environment. I explore these themes through drawing, paper sculpture, ceramics, found objects, and textiles, allowing each material to guide my process. Practices such as meditation, yoga, and hiking in the forest feed my studio work.
A core element of my practice is mindfulness and the profound impact of healing, presence/awareness, and the study of energy. Having navigated through mental health challenges, housing insecurity, and physical health barriers, I focus on how art can facilitate healing, not only for myself but for others. My art bridges the personal and the universal, delving into human relationships, psychology, and the meditative aspects of creating. The environment and the ongoing conversation around the impact humans have on the earth often have a place in my work through concept, material, and process choices. Through the work, I aim to foster connection, whether between individuals / communities, or between humans / the environment.
Designer of GRID, A Thumbnail Sketchbook for creatives; I have developed this series to share my process with others and promote creativity and idea development accessibility. "Everyone is an artist, some people just forgot how to practice."
