ARTIST STATEMENT
The art I make strives to capture the fleeting moments of pure bliss, humor, despair or mystery that life gives us. The style and media I use to make my work varies but the core expression stays constant. Much of my work focuses on the brighter aspects of life, often with a slightly sardonic twist. After many years of emotional processing and engaging more with the natural world, I’m investigating new themes with my artwork. The images come from working in the realm of dreams, fears and the messy process of healing and growth as a woman in the modern world.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
I’ve always identified as an artist, it is my favorite way to show up in the world. Art has been a constant source of clarity and friendship for me, and a way for me to celebrate and document my favorite parts of life. I studied Fine Art at Columbia College Chicago, earning a BFA , and have been creating work at a professional level ever since. I’m an artist who works relatively small; on drawings, paintings and sometimes sculpture and sewing projects. I love to draw with ink, colored pencil, and paint with gouache – an opaque and bright watercolor paint.
