ARTIST STATEMENT
My work explores the quiet tension between memory, nature, and the unseen emotional currents that shape our lives. I am drawn to processes that slow me down—cyanotype, mixed media, photography, and alternative printmaking techniques.
Much of my recent work centers on themes of transformation, fragility, and resilience found in everyday moments. I use layered imagery and organic materials to create pieces that feel like snapshots of internal landscapes.
After years of working in journalism, media, and community storytelling, my art practice has expanded into a more intentional study of craft, process, and personal expression.
