Artist Statement
I've been called an empath.
This manifests as heightened sensitivity to incoming energy— to sound and music, to tone of voice, to temperature, even to the way light falls across the shapes in a room. From empathy comes awareness, intuition, and a tendency to internalize others' emotional states. Art is the only way to process and release it back into the world.
Transformation is a theme that appears often in my work. In recent projects I've explored coming of age, as well as the physical aspects of aging. Through the lens and through collage, I can capture, examine and share a moment within a progression. These are also the moments when I'm not thinking and not absorbing. I just feel and create.
