The ‘RED ROOM’ is a place of polarity where you can go to externalize your internal world and make sense of your external one. A shape-shifter in its own right yet as steadfast as the ground beneath you, it is a space for both rest and rage, pain and pleasure, learning and unlearning. It is a space deep enough for your grief and wide enough for your healing. You can exist there however you need to. Both tangible and intangible, the ‘RED ROOM’ has the capacity to hold everything and nothing.

Last year marked the 20 year anniversary of my mother's death and, unbeknownst to me, this time stamp would conjure up a wave of deep reflection. After spending years undergoing transformation and growth, I was surprised by how much of this undoing led me to feel detached from my femininity and softness. Reflecting on her absence made me realize how hardened I had become after handling heavy, messy emotions and how necessary it was to come back to the parts of me that feel grounded and rooted as a woman. I visited all the moments when I felt deeply connected to myself and my creativity and arrived at a project from when I was studying architecture. This project revolved around overlapping systems of urban cores, and employed the color red as a means to express ideas of density, transport, and connectivity. It was here that I first discovered the beautiful connection between the disciplines of art and design and how everything from ecological impact to human emotion can be expressed through abstraction. I then created my ‘RED ROOM’, by allowing myself to sit with the seemingly disjointed pieces of my lived experiences and emotions. My hope is for this body of work to be both seen and felt while inspiring you to create your own Red Room.

RECENT SOLO EXHIBITION

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!
