I’m a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Portland, ME and my work explores the theoretical underpinnings of architecture and how we can use the more subtle, nuanced characteristics of the discipline to tell stories, express emotions, and capture the essence of a moment or idea through visual language.
I’ve always held a deep affinity for abstraction and how our perception of forms, colors, and marks is largely shaped by who we are and our lived experiences. My childhood memories, for instance, were informed by spatial recollection as a result of having moved around frequently and feeling unsettled as a result. It was only recently that I realized that this was my attempt to make sense of the world around me and this is ultimately what laid the foundation for my fascination with architecture. Long before I began to study the discipline, I retrieved memories that were framed by the essence and energy of rooms I had been in, the feeling of repeatedly traversing thresholds, and even the quality of light that shone through windows and onto surfaces.
Today, I craft compositional works that are underscored by my love of art and design, appreciation for the intellectual rigor involved in crafting spaces, and that honor the little girl in search of structure, safety, and creative freedom.
Over the years, I’ve worked professionally across art, architecture, and graphic design to ground my practice and operating at the intersection of these disciplines has played a vital role in informing my creativity.
Some of my interests include studying art and design across cultures, tinkering and building by hand, cooking (and eating haha), solving Sudoku puzzles, and spending time lost in nature. I also love to follow short stents of curiosity, new findings that spark joy, and anything that I find fascinating at the moment. Learning how to follow these curiosities has led to some of the most fulfilling moments in my creative journey and whether you're new to me and my work or you've been following along over the years, I'm so grateful that I get to create and share this work with you!
