I situate myself as a conceptually oriented artist with a strong connection to tactile media. Using materials ranging from precious metals to paper, my practice includes sculpture, drawing, painting, and printmaking. 

Through my creative work, I am interested in exploring the complex relationships between people, images, and written words. My conceptual approach to art emerges from the suggestion that “social contexts and linguistic practices mutually constitute each other” (Ahearn 8).[1] We both use words and are in turn shaped by them. As both an artist and a lover of language, I believe that both images and words can create passages to infinite worlds of imagination and possibility. They transport us to other dimensions and lift us beyond ourselves.
​
Artistic creation and reading are two ways I know about the world around me. But these are not simply passive ways to navigate reality…they are ways to create new realities.
