My work is documentation. I collect and study memories closest to me, so I learn honestly about myself and people everywhere. Imagery, music, and conversation speak to my imagination.

I’ve continued my practice in tribute to the younger girl I was, exposed to what I am now rediscovering— all these gaps of memories and things I wanted to forget or won’t ever get back. Like nightly dreams present emotions, I write and illustrate to resurface those buried thoughts. My curiosity motivates me to visually combine people and places that are of distant worlds.

In my practice, I choose opposing colors and textures and make them harmonize. I use clashy, eclectic visual and verbal inspiration to bring my moods into a physical form.

I like to imagine I am dismantling what I know and then reconstructing from what I learned during the break down. Sometimes I feel there aren’t enough shapes to express my inner world, so I make my own. I construct something I feel, but haven’t seen before.
