“It is a huge danger to pretend that awful things do not happen. But you need enough hope to keep going. I am trying to make hope. Flowers grow out of darkness.”
― Corita Kent

I believe our relationship to art and design connects us with humanity by providing a means of cultural expression and a voice for imagination. I use pattern, color, and form to create imaginative print, sculpture and installation. Working with a variety of media such as fabric, cardboard, paper, and found packaging materials, I use elements of drawing, printing, and photography to create a translation of my experiences in the world. The materials I use are related to concepts of function, material culture, and sustainable design practice. For example, I reuse the the textile art from my printed installations, find fabric that had a previous use (such as hotel sheets) and recycle back the cardboard or printed paper. I find that working across these areas in my art addresses questions about what we consume, how we shape cultural identity or how it shapes us and the delicate relationship to sustaining nature amidst growing economies of material consumption. I hope that my work may stimulate connections to all things and the need to celebrate and protect the diversity of life.
