The Artist

I was raised as the only child of a single mother with two masters degrees in art. But not only her, I was raised by generations of creatives.

 

Making things was a part of everyday life for my family growing up. A proud multicultural heritage offered me a diverse education on our connection to the earth and universe around us. Ultimately, I see my practice as an ongoing conversation with beauty. Not the polished or resolved kind, but the kind that emerges through effort, curiosity and time spent paying attention. My work begins with the understanding that perfection is unattainable and instead of resisting that, I use it as an entry point. Beauty exists in the experience. 

 

Creativity is not only an act of expression, but also a way to understand emotion. Creating is a way for me to sit with my emotions and discover space for them to exist without explanation. At its core, my work celebrates curiosity, enjoyment and the freedom to have fun while making something honest.
