Artist Statement

Space is an opportunity— emptiness that allows me to tell stories foundational to the human experience and my artistic practice. My stories speak of the ups and downs of everyday life, the emotions we often overlook, and my experiences growing up in a blended family across multiple mediums and disciplines. In this moment, the mediums I am focused on are sculpture, installation, performance, and photography, allowing me to transform space into a canvas for personal exploration. 

I work primarily with raw, found, or recycled materials, manipulating them to contradict their original purposes, mirroring my identity's ever-changing nature. Materials speak to and guide me through my creative process; my artwork and I evolve together through various emotions, ideas, and experiences. 

I gather inspiration from memories, moments with family and friends, and the present moment. Viewers of my work take on a “fly on the wall” perspective as I infuse my work with a sense of intimacy to create a personal connection with its interactors, inviting them to connect personally with each piece. As I expand my boundaries, I aim to deepen connections and engagement through my work, hoping it resonates with and inspires those interacting with it.
