I create invented narratives that explore the friction between personal identity and societal expectations around gender, visibility, and power. Working across printmaking, painting, and drawing, I often combine multiple techniques on diverse substrates to bring these stories to life.

Each piece begins with a generative spark—a sketch, phrase, or dialogue with another artwork. I draw intuitively with my eyes closed, allowing feelings and memories to guide my hand. These foundational drawings establish the groundwork while leaving space for evolution throughout the creative process.

The psychological tension in my work emerges from metaphoric figures drawn from memory, portrayed within enigmatic spaces. Titles serve as illuminating keys to my initial intent, offering viewers entry points into layered meanings.

My practice builds upon artists like Piero della Francesca, Francisco de Goya, Paula Rego, Max Beckmann, Nicole Eisenman, and Dana Schutz—artists who confront social realities through psychological narratives. I am compelled to draw what I cannot name. The focus of my work cycles through self-discovery, struggles to connect, anxiety about our world’s state, and the fragility of existence.

I think of my pieces as adult fairy tales that capture fleeting moments of what it means to be human in this time and place—stories that reveal truths through metaphor and invite viewers into spaces where the familiar becomes strange, and the personal becomes universal.
