Collage
As an artist, I find inspiration in the minutiae of everyday life, constantly searching and collecting materials that inspire me. My work spans a diverse range of media, including drawing, photography, painting, embroidery, found objects, and digital art.
While each medium offers its own strengths, none fully satisfy me in isolation. Therefore, I combine traditional and contemporary techniques through collage to give materials new context and purpose. In doing so, I explore the beauty and layers of meaning found in the everyday objects around us.
My recent work reflects the intersection of family, place, and the systems that shape our identities. By incorporating family ephemera, I aim to honor and share our stories.
Ultimately, my work serves as a means to connect with the past, explore the struggles and triumphs of previous generations, and deepen my understanding of my own place in the world.

Created during the pandemic, my Geometric series explores the intersection of structure and organic forms.
By paring down to simple shapes and colors, the work became a way to process and find meaning during a time of isolation.
Displayed on rotating turntables, I invite the audience to engage with the work, creating new compositions with every turn.

Inspired by Robert Rauschenberg, my Portraits series bridges the gap between art and life. Using ephemera belonging to each subject, I aim to portray their unique experiences, while leaving space for viewers to create their own connection and narrative with the work.
In the Vestiges series, I explore the intersection of history, memory, and transformation through mixed media. I create narratives using old family letters, photographs, ephemera, and my own imagery.
Through this process, I aim to elevate the overlooked remnants of life and inspire others to appreciate the subtle details of their own histories.

The Vignettes series blends fleeting moments from the past and present into intimate visual stories. Using color, text, and recurring imagery to create a sense of continuity, each vignette acts like a chapter in a book.
I juxtapose elements in unexpected ways, encouraging the viewer to reconsider their original meaning. By imbuing each work with personal context and significance, I invite the audience to create new narratives.
