Artist Statement

Our experiences shape the lens through which we view the world, coloring our perceptions, beliefs, and values. Each person's journey is unique and offers a deep understanding of the world and our place in it. The triumphs, challenges, connections, and moments of inspiration that we encounter all shape our view of the world, allowing us to connect with one another on a profound level.

As an artist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I view the blank canvas before me through this lens. My work reflects the complexity and richness of the human experience, exploring the layers of self and others that mirror my work with clients in therapy. My art expresses the deeply personal and vulnerable work I do with individuals, couples, and families, exploring the unique challenges and triumphs of human relationships and the intricate web of emotions, experiences, and histories that inform our connections with one another.

Through my art, I aim to capture the nuance and beauty of human experience, highlighting the joys, struggles, and complexities that make up our lives. Each collection is a reflection of the myriad of emotions and experiences that we encounter in our journey through life. My artistic process is deeply connected to my work as a therapist, guiding me on a journey of exploration and discovery.

My ultimate goal as an artist is to create work that speaks to the human experience in all its richness and complexity, reflecting the lens of my unique experience. I believe that through art, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, forging meaningful connections that bring us closer together.
