Artist Statement
I navigate the themes of memory, remembrance, and anxiety through my artistic practice,
drawing inspiration from anatomical and ecological references and processes. Symbols from
nature, especially bulbs and seeds, permeate my visual language. I use my art to express and
practice introspective rumination on memory as a tool for growth. Many of my artworks focus on
this slow-growth concept by referencing gestational and hibernation periods. My art draws on
natural imagery of bulbs, cocoons, and wombs to evoke a gestation period in which the viewer
grows through introspection before re-emerging into the community. I create new, personal
“environments” through my artwork to encourage viewers to meditate on memories and their
internal worlds.
