Artist Statement

In my work I examine how we contort ourselves in and out of the confines of identities. I celebrate  this malleability as a means of survival to ultimately defy the constraints of our cultural narratives around gender and sexuality. Through an array of mediums and figurative imagery, my work depicts abstracted personal and observational moments, creating alternate realities to imagine liberated futures and reframed memories. I incorporate human-like elements of the environment to parallel human experience with metamorphic qualities of nature. Collectively, my body of work reflects my personal healing process of honoring past and future selves and the multifaceted beauty of transition.
