Exhaustion.

Confronting my feelings of guilt, shame, loneliness while examining generational mental illness in these spaces are at the core of my being.

Quiet, sometimes calm.

I have long been interested in using abstract images and multimedia to investigate gendered and sexualized experiences.

I am motivated by a profound anger about the treatment of women in both historical and contemporary social contexts through violence, marginalization, discrimination, and bias. That anger is matched by my awe of how women exist in domestic spaces.

The peace, the quiet, the chaos. Care.

I inhabit this dialect through multiple artistic disciplines. The work provides a window into small moments, partially formed memories, and minor feelings within those existences. It investigates the dependence on the labor of motherhood.
