My practice grows from a curiosity about what materials can hold. Through drawing, painting, and assemblage, I often begin with what is found or left behind. I pull things apart, reconfigure them, and trace how materials carry memory through texture, history, and transformation. My work asks how materials remember and what they choose to forget.

I am drawn to found and discarded materials as a way of exploring questions of worth, belonging, and renewal. The way a material pushes back often reveals something human, mirroring the instability of memory and emotion. I treat making as both repair and inquiry, an ongoing act of care that asks for patience, attention, and curiosity.

Alter egos and self-portraiture frequently appear throughout my work. Through play, imagination, and storytelling, these characters create space to explore vulnerability from different perspectives. They allow me to move between memory and invention, using humor and reflection to navigate experiences that can be difficult to approach directly.

Through layering, cutting, painting, and reworking, I look for moments where fragility and persistence meet. My studio practice is a space for slowing down, listening, and remaining present with what continues to change.
