Artist Statement:

Through mixed media and soft sculpture I create objects that blend the boundaries between comfort and discomfort. What I create reflects my experiences with having depression as well as being a woman. I play with the ideas of mental health and femininity within my work through the materials, processes, colors, and subject matter I use. Although the subject matter can be disconcerting, I encourage the viewer to touch my work and experience it through the tactile materials that are implemented.
