What death doesn’t claim for itself, our stomachs and inner systems hold onto. Our memories have bodies all their own and often grow limbs, arms, legs, and start talking back to us. My images contain wings, permafrost, ancient symbolism, and psychic birds that help explain the far reaches and shortcomings of memory.

I create imagined worlds for us to enter and install them in communal spaces where I invite people to perform and share. I investigate connections between anatomy and elements of mapping, home, and our built environment: how we reflect what we need on the inside, on the outside. I am interested in the connections between our lived experiences, our physical bodies, and our imaginative spirits.

Drawing is an age-old method of communication; in creating large scale drawings, I hope to involve our own physical sense of scale and being.

My ongoing series of drawings, the nighttime has so much to say, is obsessed with themes of overthinking, excess energy, inner turmoil, porous membranes, emotional outbursts, the nervous system, our animal sides, and the (simple) pain of just loving deeply.

I understand that the body is constantly regenerating itself, that our cells are rebuilding throughout our entire lives. I find this exhilarating, generous information. My work pulls from the health sciences, medical illustrations, maps, nature, faces around me, and history. I work to illustrate the ways in which our bodies affect one another; provide shelter; do one another harm - through oppressive power structures and use of land & resources

I create community events and arts-based workshops with Amber Art & Design, a collective of artists working to leverage resources from the art world for social change. Our work is hyper local and ranges from public art & beautification to community engagement processes/events.
