Artist’s Statement

As an Expressionist artist working in drawing, fibre arts, and oil and acrylic painting, my practice is based around lived experiences and the dynamics of relationships to both people and space. I am inspired by the mundanity of life and the expression of identity through the many forms it can manifest.

I use art as a means to reexamine my lived experiences and further my understanding of what it means to live and function in society. Through an artistic-lens, I explore normalcy while providing a critique of beauty for beauty's sake and embracing the tender softness in the ordinary ugliness of life.
