I derive much of my inspiration in the studio from my personal relationships with the built and natural environment, my friends, peers, professors, family, and the media I consume. I believe focusing on immediate relationships in my work is an attempt to find or shape my own identity.
I enjoy creating work that invites viewers to step into the scene they’re seeing, rather than look at it from a distant standpoint. Painting and printmaking stand at the center of my practice, but I would like to push the boundaries of how I use these media.
By focusing on my investigation of close relationships, I can start to reflect on pivotal moments of transition and disruption in my life that have had a lasting impact on my identity and my ability to form connections.
When not in the studio, I can usually be found listening to music, playing tennis, or sketching at a nearby cafe.
Always happy to connect, whether for a project or just to talk!
