Though each work is constructed differently, they are united by a shared vocabulary of gesture, material, rhythm, and a luminous palette, revealing that what connects them is not a technique, but a way of seeing.

Here and There is a new body of work continuing my investigation in the memory and importance of interior domestic spaces and the everyday objects they contain. By combining paint, wood, textiles, and embellishments in a variety of ways, I aim to memorialize the objects of daily ritual and the spaces in which they take place.
