My studio practice stems from a desire to be heard and seen, and to connect with my audience. I attempt to bring to light what is unseen, unnoticed, and celebrate these subtle observations. I am fascinated by the shared experiences of women in my region, and seek to give them a voice. I strive to create stories that honor and celebrate those unique experiences.
