Artist Statement
I create art because I must—it’s how I process life. My sculptures and wall pieces are built from scraps, found objects, and emotion.
I rarely begin with a plan. Instead, I follow instinct, letting my grief, joy, and memories guide the form. Each piece tells a story—often my own—but I hope viewers see themselves in the layers, the cracks, the color, and the silence.
I’m especially drawn to identity, caregiving, survival, and spiritual resilience themes. My years as a caregiver—walking alongside my mother through dementia—gave me a raw and complex understanding of what it means to hold on, let go, and keep going. That emotional terrain lives in my work.
Whether it’s a fragmented face, a heavily adorned figure, or a surreal wall sculpture, my work isn’t about giving answers. It’s about starting a conversation—raising questions, inviting reflection, and creating space for honesty. I want people to connect with their emotions, uncertainties, and fears. I hope every piece opens a door for viewers to see themselves more clearly and feel less alone in what they carry.
