I create intuitively. I don’t plan my drawings in detail. I begin with an idea, but the work changes as I draw.

I work mainly with charcoal and pencil. I build images through drawing, erasing, and redrawing, and I leave those traces visible. I am interested in the process, not perfection.

As I work, faces and forms often appear on their own. I see these faces as states of being— emotional and internal experiences made visible through drawing.

My work is not about one fixed meaning. It is open. I want each viewer to bring their own interpretation and experience to what they see.

After studying textiles in college, and working in the fashion industry for five years. I stepped away from making my own art for almost ten years. During that time, I focused on volunteer work ,teaching and building art programs for children and older adults in schools. I returned to drawing after going through illness, loss, and recovery, and it became a way for me to process and reconnect with myself. I teach art classes to children at MBAC, which continues to shape how I think about creativity and expression.

I believe art can open thinking. It can challenge how we see things and expand what we believe is possible. I am interested in work that doesn’t give answers, but instead creates questions. My work is about possibility—what we see, what we feel, and what we have not yet imagined.
