engaging the world through art
​
ABOUT
I'm a visual artist, writer/editor, and community facilitator interested in scripts and languages, communication across groups and cultures, and our interaction with nature.
Fibers and textiles, discarded and found objects are my preferred materials, but also use graphite, inks, watercolors and acrylics. I use sculpting, weaving, and other mark-making and creative techniques to explore topics of my interest, in particular global and social issues that impact the individual or that resonate with my personal experiences.
​
Through my work, I aim to challenge people’s assumptions and encourage a more nuanced understanding of the world, our way of being in that world, and our relationship with other beings.
