About The Artist

Inspired by my life with chronic pain, I am deeply interested in the way art can bring light into the darkest of places.

I often feel weak and powerless in my life. Creating helps me understand things, find power in places I thought wasn’t any, and find strength in myself and the things I’m going through. My work explores themes and feelings that make me uncomfortable, feel weak or at a disadvantage, and looks at them through different lenses, finding something positive or powerful about them. I use symbolism to make sense of things, to make real what I’m longing for, what I’m feeling, and to appreciate what I already have.

I aim for people to be able to look at something they think is a weakness, or uncomfortable, or scary, and walk away feeling empowered, or hopeful, or at least more considerate of their abilities and strengths.
