“I work in mixed media collage, cyanotype, and acrylic painting to explore the relationship between memory, place, and lived experience. Influenced by a lifelong love of reading and travel, my compositions draw from stories, and the colors and textures gathered from the spaces I have visited and called home.

Women appear throughout my work as archetypes and contemporaries, reflecting themes of identity and resilience. My process is layered and intuitive, combining paint, found imagery, plants, and sunlight. Across mediums, my practice is an act of gathering — shaping fragments of story and landscape into cohesive visual narratives.”
