artist statement
My work explores nature, family, and social issues. I experiment with photography, collage, drawing, paint, fabric, and other everyday or reclaimed materials.
I’m interested in work that feels inviting and playful while leaving room for deeper connections to memory, hope, and the beauty in the world.
