Through a convergence of modern digital approaches and traditional media, my work explores relationships between the physical, emotional, and spiritual experiences of modern life. Often dealing with overarching themes of transformation, my work mixes many different media and disciplines in order to find new avenues for change and transcendence. I am interested in the art of healing and release. I explore these subjects through a variety of materials and processes that often result in work focused on self-reflection, vulnerability, and quiet contemplation. I am intrigued by the meditative nature of certain processes, which is why elements of time based media, performance, and hand-crafted drawings or objects seem to make their way consistently into my practice.

At its core, my work is about transformation. Taking inspiration from my experiences in the world, many of the themes in my work explore types of transformation be it physical, emotional, or spiritual. Starting out with a primary focus on the body, my earlier work employed methods of performance, digital media, and photography to question cultural perceptions of beauty and issues of body image and shame.

Continuing my exploration of the body in modern society, more recently I have been engaged in works that tackle grief and loss, healing, and spirituality. A continued presence of digital technology permeates my work, but I have expanded into quiet and meditative practices that include the body or hand of the artist in a more physical way. The relationship between humanity and technology is one I find deeply intriguing, and it appears in my process consistently.

I’m deeply moved and inspired by how the personal is often political, and how deeply specific experiences are often relatable and shared by many. My ultimate goal is to create space and time for self-acceptance, healing, and forgiveness in the works I make. I seek to share these experiences with others by offering opportunities for viewers to meditate, ponder deeply, or actively engage in process.
