I navigate—and often get tangled in—the threads drawn between storytelling, memory, and imagination. In my work, different fixations, gestures of poetry, and glimpses of experience mingle and coalesce, causing partial, fragmented, and even invented narratives to emerge. Intensive, laborious printmaking processes act as rituals and spaces for me to act out on my devotion to art and attentiveness to memory. I employ alternative and contemporary methods of printmaking, working with both paper and fabric. In my sewn fabric works, various hand-printed pieces collide with secondhand textiles and scraps donated by loved ones. My mixed media, collage-originated practice leaves space open for spontaneity, experimentation, and play.

While many mediums attract me, printmaking puts forward wonderful spaces and people to grow alongside. Portfolio exchanges and moments of teaching in the printmaking studio offer sites of connection through art— a truly wonderful thing.
