I make little treasures, gifts, and offerings. Inspired by the desert, loneliness, hybridity, and misunderstanding, the goal of my artwork and practice as an artist is to generate mediums for tender connection, if only for a moment, and invent surreal ways to hold each other from afar. My socially engaged projects, performances, paintings, and assemblage are invitations into dreamy and emotionally demanding spaces. Come through. It’s odd, but it’s nice.
A profile of my artistic practice appeared in the Coastal Post in May 2021! Give it a read here.
