Through my art, I seek to capture and express the complexities of emotion and memory in a visually engaging manner as a means of better understanding myself in the past, present, and future, and to push myself through journeys of healing from loss or grief. My art serves as an appreciation for what has been lost and what is found and often focuses on the theme of intentional love. It captures moments that would be otherwise lost in the overwhelming number of fleeting memories to keep alive as a preservation of myself at different ages and times.

artist's book, mixed media
Jewett Gallery
Eating My Heart Out is an installation to display an artist's book, titled Spoon Fed, consisting of different recipes and essays from my life, investigating the relationship between intimacy and food. It is ultimately a culmination of my time in college alongside the things from my childhood and teenage years that I reflected deeply on in the past four years. This project came to fruition as I entered my fourth year of college with a perspective I had not previously taken, with an urge to follow my heart truly, albeit recklessly, in search and preservation of a love that comes softly and easily. I identified this love nearly entirely within my platonic and familial relationships, and this discovery allowed joy and happiness to reenter a previously dark space. My work through this continues to explore my family, self, and relationship with the world, both in the present and the past. The artistic process of creating work, both drawings and written word, has revealed clarity of the past that had previously been unknown.
