MEET THE ARTIST

At the core of my practice is an innate need to create. I turn to painting, printmaking, and other mediums not only as tools of expression but as ways of recording, processing, and translating what I carry. Much of my work centers on self-portraiture, using my own image as a site where questions of control, endurance, and memory can unfold through material investigation. Through process, I set rules for myself, repeating an action, subjecting an image to a treatment, or dragging a surface across terrain. These acts turn making into both record and ritual.

​

My work often emerges from cycles of constraint and release. The physical act of making becomes a way to navigate limitation, to test what the body can hold, and to trace what is lost or transferred through contact. The act of transfer and translation guides much of my process, exploring how an image changes as it moves from one surface to another and how repetition alters its sense of identity. Questions of front and back, mirror and reversal, are central to the way I work. Each transfer becomes an act of choice, an experiment in what remains visible, what disappears, and what new form is created in between. Constraints, substrates, and time itself act as collaborators, introducing friction, failure, and discovery into the work.

​

Art, for me, is a record of endurance and curiosity, a continuous negotiation between intention and chance. Every work becomes a way of suspending a version of myself in time, insisting on presence, and allowing transformation to occur through process. The image becomes a living document, shifting with every contact, translation, and trace it endures.
