I am a Brooklyn based mixed media artist creating thoughtful dreamlike paintings. I work with a tactile, intuitive process and am attracted to mark making, collage, and playing with materials rather than polish or permanence. My paintings often resemble fragmented landscapes or memoryscapes with layered textures and softened time.
I am often attracted to using children's materials and ways of working. I am interested in ideas of nostalgia, curiosity, self connection, and use play as subject and tool. My paintings become a space where my inner child and myself meet, imagination interrupts expectation, and discovery eats performance.
I think of my practice as a quiet refusal to the culture of urgency and perfection in the face of a society obsessed with productivity and emotional burn out. I am inspired by process art practices and artists that focus on intuition, materiality, and the interiority and use mixed media as a space to hold emotional presence and care. I am interested in reclaiming art making as a gentle, living practice, something that can breathe, grow, and continue to unfold through curiosity rather than demand.
When I am not making, I love to travel, take walks around New York with my headphones in, and hang out with my cat, Henry.
