Artist Statement  

  Art is vital to our humanity; it creates wholeness and perspective in our communal and personal realities. I am seeking public artwork projects & exhibitions to engage in reciprocity to home, rewilding and community. I intend my public work to demonstrate the beauty of relationships in nature that educate, uplift and shape us as a community. 

Common themes found in my work are liminal spaces, honor and ritual in & out of place, womanhood and ecology. The painted and pigment-stained canvases are movements in honoring nature and experience, windows into womanhood, healing and reciprocity with our homes. Sometimes they are a map or guide to time, self and universal/earthly cycles. Sometimes they employ the paint or light itself as representational to a metaphysical expression or idea. 

I’ve always been fascinated with portals; powerful, sublime spaces that can transcend or transport those who are brave enough to delve into their depths. I am interested in exploring these liminal spaces and their ability for transport. Their ins & outs and potential escape from our cultural prevailing dualistic consciousness. 

The sculptural use of mediums is an attempt to escape a image's flat limitations and sculpt what is tangible of a distorted, saturated memory. This process is a collision of worlds; it is both a recollection and realization of past experiences felt as an emotional being & physical body.  The recursive effect, or perhaps a fold in time, begins there.

I work in oils, acrylics, natural pigments, spray paints and sculptural materials. Using the frame of a painting, or a sculptural weave, I create in a diverse range of styles and genres;  contemporary realism, murals, land-based art, installation, illustration, sculpture and tattoos. I am often found mixing things; like pigments in oil or water, compost in soil, flour in water and kids in gardens.
