Through invented narratives, I explore the friction between personal identity and societal expectations around gender, visibility, and power. The psychological tension of the work emerges from metaphoric figures drawn from memory portrayed in enigmatic spaces. The titles help illuminate my initial intent.

My materials span multiple disciplines—printmaking, painting, and drawing. I often combine two or more techniques on a variety of substrates. My process begins with a generative spark: a sketch, a phrase, or dialogue with another artwork. I draw intuitively, eyes closed, allowing feelings and memories to guide my hand. These initial drawings establish the foundation for the piece, leaving room for evolution throughout the creative process.

My work builds on artists like Piero della Francesca, Francisco de Goya, Paula Rego, Max Beckman, Nicole Eisenman, and Dana Schutz—who confront social realities through psychological narratives. I am driven to draw what I cannot name. The focus of my work cycles through self-discovery, struggles to connect, angst about the state of the world, and the fragility of existence. I think of my work as adult fairy tales that capture a small snippet of what it is to be human in this time and place.
