Artist Statement

A multi-media artist, I work and reside in Chicago. I received my BFA from the University of Texas and an MFA from the University of Michigan. My art practice is informed by non linear, spirit filled narratives that defy exposition. I’m inspired by icons, tarot, memoirs, kachina dancers, children’s stories, illuminated manuscripts, and more.

Using a variety of materials, I engage in conversation with my subject matter. I layer, scrape, draw, paint, sew, reveal, and obscure as an analogy to life's transformative journeys over unfamiliar landscapes. Through this process I grapple with earthy and mystic subjects such as time travel, uncertainty, humor, grief and delight.
