ARTIST STATEMENT
I am fascinated with all aspects of our built inhabit and the objects we create to fill the space to the relationships we develop and within our everyday life; I feel a common thread of curiosity about the connections created throughout time. This curiosity fosters my creative exploration to explores potentially uncomfortable ideas and conversations. For me, art often tells a through these stories, we can be reminded that we should listen as often as we narrate. These personalized thoughts and ideas, I am seeking to build my experiences and create understanding of open dialogue.
