Fear, loss, and uncertainty are all part of the human experience. Often the most negative events are the ones that impact us the most. They have the power to manipulate and to curse, but I strive to utilize this energy into something positive. 

As a fiber artist, I focus on weaving, dyeing, and felting while often creating multimedia pieces and keeping to my roots in painting and pen and ink drawings. By combining my skill sets in each field of study and learning new techniques and new mediums, I am constantly growing as an artist. 

Whether my work is highlighting social injustices, drawing connections between the past and present, or depicting themes related to nature or my own personal experiences, I recognize that although the world around me, including myself, is ever evolving, constantly being either ripped at the seams or struggling to be pieced back together, we are all uniquely ourselves because of each fracture. The people, places, and objects that are cracked but not shattered are where the most vulnerability, but also the most beauty, lies.
