My creative practice involves exploring different media and techniques that test the boundaries of what defines contemporary art, including the blurring of traditional lines dividing craft, commercial art, and fine art. I’m inspired by raw materials, especially those destined for landfills. As a recurring motif, I stylize the female form, choosing universal features over unique ones and employ minimalism to promote a sense of accessibility. Story-sharing is my passion and I’ve created a language of graphic bars to represent words and punctuation to circumvent language barriers as well as to engage viewers to to tell the story from their own interpretations. –Artist statement
