Statement
I am a multidisciplinary visual artist based in the United States whose practice includes drawings, paintings, collages, installations, and relief sculptures. Along with utilizing paint, paper, and ink and working in a non-representational manner, I employ fabric, thread, and recycled cardboard boxes as signifiers of the underrated labor of caregiving in all of its forms, which functions as societal infrastructure, forming the seams that hold a society together.
