I make figurative paintings and prints that examine cultural expectations around relationships and gender in contrast to lived experience, particularly the struggle to connect with others while remaining true to oneself.

Using line and saturated color, I build imaginary figures of varying scale whose gestures evoke states of being, while their placement accentuates their isolation within environments that feel both familiar and unsettled.

Grounded in my experience of negotiating identity and connection, my work considers how we can find belonging without giving up our sense of self.
