My practice is concerned with giving psychological experiences a physical form, so I create mindscapes (with imagery inspired by my environment, dreams, and emotions). Often, my work is intuitive, intimate, surreal, and suffocating, and I explore the dichotomies of light and dark, stillness and turbulence, and connection and disconnection.
Feel free to contact me with inquiries, comments, and questions. I would love to hear from you.
