I am interested in connectedness, sensitivity to environment, the earth between my fingers and under my feet. I am building scenes that pull from an ecosystem that swirls within me, of soil and seed, digesting my anxieties, holding my hopes, and forming embryonic beings in moments of reflection and rest. I love roundness and fullness, the warmth of the sun and light of the stars. I first began painting with watercolor as a child, and have began to use acrylic paints in a way I see stems from this, allowing the pigments on the canvas to flow where water leads it, within the boundaries I create. I approach life with this dance between surrender and guidance. My work across mediums connects the physical, the spiritual, and the tactile experiences of my life, combining memory and imagination. With the clay, I am forming fossils, organ-like, organic beings impressed into the earth, consumed and connected. I create repetition in my prints, fluidity in my paintings, and stability in my fossils, to express a psychology of healing, to call attention to the interconnectedness of all things, and to live with the world and its beings.
