WELCOME

My work grows from the tension between what breaks and what mends.  I am drawn to the places where form begins to disintegrate—where color bleeds, edges fray, and an image risks falling apart—and to the quiet insistence of life that keeps stitching itself back together.  Each piece is both an unraveling and a re-weaving, a meditation on how loss and renewal coexist inside a single breath.

 

Over time my practice has become less about depicting and more about listening—to materials, to the rhythms of nature, to the invisible threads that connect personal and collective healing.  I often work in layers: carving, printing, or pasting layers of paper over what came before, allowing remnants of earlier gestures to remain visible.  This process mirrors the way a life accumulates—scar by scar, revelation by revelation, understanding by understanding—until the surface itself tells the resilient story of life fully lived.

 

Developmentally, I have moved from searching for perfection to honoring process.  The act of making has become a form of integration: a way to reconcile fragmentation, to practice forgiveness, and to celebrate where beauty and imperfection meet.

 

Whether the imagery leans toward landscape, abstraction, or symbolic figure, the constant is a reverence for transformation.  I see creation and decay not as opposites but as collaborators in the same cycle.  My art lives in that pulse—between grief and grace, between what was and what has yet to emerge.  Through it I hope to offer a visual language for the quiet courage of beginning again.

I have been making art since I could hold a crayon. I received my BA in Printmaking from Tulane University in 2002 and my MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2008. Since 1999, I have participated in numerous group exhibitions as well as solo shows.
