Welcome to

At once investigation, play, meditation and self-expression, my creative work is a quasi-spiritual practice which unifies my mind, body and spirit. Informed by my personal experiences with art and journaling as therapeutic tools, I am interested in the intersection of art-making, storytelling, and personal histories with ritual, spiritual, and healing practices, and their relationship to the human experience.  I explore these ideas through mixed media, found object assemblage, and zines.  My process employs expressive mark-making, and welcomes the surprises and limitations inherent to the found items and natural materials that I select. Although nothing is off limits, I am most often drawn to the texture and structural qualities of wood, paper, textile, wire and jewelry.  My use of found media to create art is how I acknowledge the sacredness of impermanent physical existence, as well as the ephemeral nature of the artwork itself.  Using the interplay of concurrent natural, and biological cycles as an entry point, my practice celebrates the complexity of the human experience.  Through my work I delve into and processes the questions that are at the core of human existence, “who are we?”, and “how do we relate to the world around us, to ourselves, to other beings?”, and perhaps the most enigmatic and unanswerable of all questions, “Why?”.
