Artist Statement
I often use humor to bring attention to critical issues. I find that creating humorous objects often breaks down barriers and invites an open and genuine dialogue between my art, the audience, and myself. My personal experience is transformed into something universal.
My work consistently explores mental and physical health through the themes of healing, comfort, and self-preservation. As a multimedia artist I use materials and processes that speak to my conceptual concerns and often allude to emotional states.
