I don't separate intuition and concept in my work - they tend to happen at the same time. Sometimes a clear idea leads, sometimes it shows up later, and sometimes it was there all along without me realizing it. 

My background is in photography, which still influences how I build and compose. My current work is more physical, working with beeswax, reclaimed wood, and found objects. I'm interested in layering, in change, letting some of the texture and materials do some of the talking.

Words often elude me and it is through my art that I find solace and a voice to convey complex emotions. I believe that embracing and leaning into these emotions is crucial to understanding our true selves and fostering personal growth. Society often shies away from confronting such raw feelings, but I see great importance in exploring them for they lead us towards healing and self-discovery.

At a glance, my work is often perceived as dark, but it is through my art that I invite viewers to confront their own emotions. It is my hope that my creations serve as a catalyst for introspection and connection, resonating with others through visual storytelling. In a world that often seeks to numb emotions, my art stands as a reminder that true growth lies in embracing our humanity, seeking new perspectives, accepting the darkness within, and finding hope and clarity on the other side.
