I am a multidisciplinary artist whose focus is in intuitive painting & printmaking. Active feminism has helped me take a closer lens to patriarchal roles, and learning about healthy masculinity continues to shift my conceptual questions . I seek to give the viewer a chance to reflect about these real life topics in their own narrative.

The creation of my work is an emotional response to an external conflict, an unspoken drive to create while trying to calm. I would not describe myself as a careful, tidy artist. Instead I am mostly explosive, messy, intuitive, spontaneous - but always listening to how the painting is guiding me. I often use bold, intense and loud colors - maybe this is the residue of being too quiet, too withholding, too “good girl”. (Psssst! Hey! Listen up!) Most people might find my interests difficult to accept or to abide in, and I would agree that most worthwhile endeavours are not easy. I use text is a form of declaration, often a cue to empower others. You don’t think you can? I’ll tell you. You don’t think you will? I’ll tell you. (Psssst! Hey! Listen up!)

Printmaking offers a moment to embrace what is flawed and multi-step process, especially for a restless perfectionist. As an artist, I enjoy not having all the answers, but I do take joy in seeking them out.

“The purpose of the work is to awaken something in you first, and then allow something to be awakened in others.” -Rick Rubin
