In the Studio
My work looks into the complexities that generational trauma, familial disfunction and societal & cultural stereotypes can have on growth and the ability to find one’s place and purpose.
Using poetic license with a figurative, abstract narrative lens, I experiment with the possible outcomes that a multidisciplinary practice offers. My studio practices includes the use of oil painting, illustration & print/bookarts to poetry, music and video/animation.
I believe there is an alchemy in personal growth by learning how to have radical self-acceptance, and that through being personally vulnerable I can create space for universally personal themes.
more about me
After moving to Seattle when I was 20 from Santa Barbara California in the 90’s, in an effort to leave the “same day every day.” I resided in Seattle, Wa. for close to 30 years. In 2021, I had the opportunity to live in Lexington, Kentucky for two years, where I spent my days deeply contemplating the concepts of time, home, belonging and disconnection. It was there that I created the series of work that would become my first solo exhibition at the Lexington Artist Leagues’ Loudon House Galleries in March 2023.
I currently live in Bellingham, Washington and have a forthcoming Artist book titled, Drawing Clouds, coming out in 2025 from Bored Wolves Publishing.
