Artist Statement

I explore identity, spiritual nature and the interplay between the mind and body while seeking to visually translate the human condition. I am inspired by the ritual of craft and am attracted to repetitive processes as tools for navigating the Self; painting, printmaking, and fiber coexist within my work and take shape according to the conceptual needs of each piece. Drawing from my hands-on experience with herbalism, somatic therapy, and as a ceremonialist, I embrace a holistic practice through nonlinear inquiry. With this approach, my work oscillates between repetition and stillness, vibrant hues and monochrome, illustrative and abstract.
