CONTENT NOTE
This work addresses sexual violence, domestic violence, and gendered harm. Some images and text may be difficult. The work is intended as witness, not spectacle.
Visual art
My art practice runs parallel to my teaching. For me, design and art are only separated by intent. This work is where I follow that intent into territory words cannot reach.
Artist statement
My work is influenced by the veiled layers that simultaneously shroud and reveal the truth of the violence that happens behind closed doors. My art attempts to give a visual voice to the emotions, moments, memories, and experiences related to domestic and sexual violence.

Current work (Behind the Cover)
2023-current
A new body of work exploring the book as structure and sculpture — a form that contains, conceals, and slowly reveals the hidden and painful stories of our lives. Text runs through every piece: sometimes legible, sometimes not, but always present as mark and as meaning. The female form layers beneath and within, carrying the weight of what words alone cannot hold.
