Artist Statement

When I create is when I feel most alive and connected to myself. It’s how I reflect and respond to experiences, alchemizing anxiety and grief into something beautiful and healing. 

Through my work I emphasize the power of vulnerability, and strength in gentleness. Those messages are woven within the piece, as well as through the process. Studio sessions for me are very sacred – moments range from immense joy and play, to twisting heartache and tears. There is room for both, and I hope to share that with others through my art: a safe space to feel all emotions that demand to be felt.
