Artist Statement:
I process the world around and within me through creation both in visual art and textiles. The act of making has been my steadfast companion since childhood, and is often both my outlet and my grounding. My work often explores subjects through a lens of curiosity and play.
Watercolor and pen are my go-to mediums, offering a connection to the illustrations and storybooks from my childhood. I also enjoy working in and experimenting with other mediums, including graphite, colored pencil, marker, and paint.
My work is a search for joy, an act of curiosity, and recognition of small, meaningful moments. I don’t create with the expectation of how others should respond, but I value when someone finds something familiar, comforting, or thought-provoking in my art. My practice, at this stage of my journey as an artist, is about exploration, growth, and discovering the confidence to call myself an artist and embodying what that means to me.
