Artist Statement 

 Across my portfolio, I have covered topics such as familial relations and childhood through a feminine lens. I strive to find the simple, often overlooked aspects of memories and girlhood. Childhood photos often recur within my work, with a focus on the child version of myself. 

I have a primary body of painting, and a secondary body of sculptural, textile and ceramic work. My oil paintings are large, painterly images that emphasize texture and mark. I tend to work with panels rather than individual canvases for my paintings. These panels allude to my disjointed memories and collage-like concepts. When beginning a painting, I often do an underpainting of cadmium red to give the feeling of seams or flesh, which has become a common detail across my work. Within sculpture, I gravitate toward assemblage and storytelling through the use of found materials. My goal in sculpture is to create pieces that allow the viewer to reflect on their own childhood experience, their relations, and their bias.
