about the artist
creativity is a spiritual practice. a practice that pulls me into myself and encourages my hands to steady my mind at the most beautiful and darkest of times. a practice that nurtures harmony and facilitates healing despite a natural current of emotional extremes. it is within that space that i engage in an ongoing (possibly never ending) conversation with the parts of myself that are aching to be heard and met with compassion, forgiveness, and enthusiasm. it is prayer in motion. this process combined with an array of mediums create a byproduct. this byproduct (healing materialized) becomes a gift in and of itself. my work is layered, thoughtful, and always intimate. while i do my best to leave purpose to spirit, i want very much for my work to support people in returning to themselves. i want people to feel and to heal.
with gratitude,
