I was born and raised on a ranch in Sonoma County, California, where my family and I raised sheep for fiber.  I Studied printmaking at California College of the arts from 2015-2017. I work in a variety of media including fiber, painting, lithography, screenprinting, etching, relief printing, xerography, drawing, book arts, wood, metal, ceramics, sound and installation. These days I work out of Marshall, CA.

The themes I explore in my work are natural cycles; birth and death, seasonal change, dawn and twilight. I am also informed by mythical, religious and spiritual symbols. My work evokes a sense of spaciousness, calm, chaos and mystery– and reflects the process of untangling how I am affected by the presence of the great beauty and sorrow that exists on this planet. 

The content of my work exists on the axis of grief, loss, and death, and revolves around what we can learn from them. By holding a lens to the intricacies of what happens to our bodies, minds, and spirits when we encounter these realities, I am attempting to open a doorway to experience life in a more fully realized way.

Utilizing a combination of representational and abstracted forms, I am interested in drawing attention to the interplay between what is and what we perceive. The often straightforward quality of linework and form reflects a documentation, which in combination with the ambiguity of the subject, creates a potentially unsettling tension. 

References to the natural world, both in form and medium, weave their way through the conceptual and material body of the work. The materiality of my work plays an important part in its function. By collecting pigments from varying natural sources such as minerals, shells, oxides, plants, and bone, I immerse my work in the world. The contrast and connection between earth and spirit becomes evident. Mineral, plant and animal, the triangle on which life is hinged, bound by water. Nothing created, nothing destroyed. Formed and reformed of the same materials-  transforming each other, transforming into one another.
