About Me.

My practice is grounded in material, including wood, metal, paper, paint, and in the physical act of making. I work across woodworking, silversmithing, painting, and printmaking, using processes that require touch, repetition, and time, where the body is embedded in the work.

​

I grew up in rural southern Illinois and am now based in New York. This shift in environment has changed how I think about space and how art fits into my life. With less physical space, making has become more integrated into everyday objects and routines.

​

I’m interested in the idea that the things we live with, lamps, furniture, textiles, surfaces—can also function as sites of art. When space is limited, utility and intention overlap; functional objects become a place for form, pattern, and attention.

Self-portraiture runs through my work, not always as a literal image but as an ongoing process of reflection. Repetition and handwork allow me to return to and rework personal experience over time.
