About

Statement: Drawn. Create. Covet.

I am drawn to overlooked and reimagined spaces, personal histories, and fragments from nature—flowers, sky, and sea. Myths, fairytales, and archival collections are among my favorite tools. And classic Hollywood. Snow White. Slips that fly and sometimes die.

I create nonlinear narratives primarily through long-term photographic and text-based series. Women often appear, directly and indirectly—through presence, gesture, and trace. Poems too.

I covet the unexpected: intimacy and performance, beauty and discomfort.

The nearly remembered shimmers most.
