My work addresses the idea of the divine feminine as a creative power and force of connection. I seek to open the potential of what the divine feminine can be within myself as I struggle to assert my autonomy as a woman and mother living within a patriarchal society. Through my mixed media and collage works, I search for beauty, joy, comfort and acceptance in the feminine body. I consider what it feels like to be in a female body, the boundaries of my body against other bodies and my surroundings. As part of my practice I am attempting to reclaim sensuality and sexuality as a mother living under hetero-patriarchal capitalism.

I see the struggles of women as intertwined with the struggle to end extractive and destructive practices that harm the earth and all living things. I am seeking ways to center healing from these harms and explore the desire to nurture the self and others as a source of power. This land-body entanglement is something I continue to learn about and explore through my work.

My work is process driven and generative. I enjoy pushing pattern and layering to the limits, creating multi-layered and visually abundant works on paper. I am a printmaker by training but most of my work is made with mixed media. Working with mixed media allows me to create richly layered surfaces that reflect printmaking theory and technique but utilize paint, drawing materials and collage, as well as printmaking processes such as silkscreen, relief printing. I enjoy the focused practice of creating Intricately hand cut paper and repetitive patterning using paint and drawing materials as well as the digital/analogue relationship involved with printmaking. Central to the aesthetics of my work is the haptic quality of layered materials and technique that manifest as I strive to intertwine figures and environment.
