“All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster’s autobiography. ”
I create art to explore my inner life and the world around me. Making art is a form of self-inquiry—an intuitive way ofgiving shape to experiences that are difficult to express in words.
I once described making art as a way of forging order from chaos. Now I see it as a meeting place where order and chaoscoexist, and where uncertainty can give way to a sense of wholeness, connection, and belonging.
Folk art has long inspired me, offering a visual language for the personal metaphors and archetypes that shape my work. Figures, houses, birds, and bones recur throughout my work as familiar yet mysterious forms, helping me explore how we make meaning, carry our histories, and move through change.
Working across painting, sculpture, and photography, I allow intuition and experimentation to guide my process. Color,form, and elements of the natural world carry me beyond conscious intention, bringing the unexamined into view.
My art invites viewers to connect with their own experiences of discovery and inner knowing.
