about

I am an interdisciplinary and lens-based artist, whose current focus of practice is photography, found objects and text. Currently living in Philadelphia, I will be finishing my MFA in Socially Engaged Art at Moore College of Art and Design in May 2022. My work has spanned a variety of mediums and I have more than a 15-year exhibition history. Themes explored in my art relate to the experiences of women and the fragmentation of the female body. My goal is that my projects, while based on events from my own life, will speak to a wider audience who have experienced similar occurrences.

My current work focuses on grief after the death of my father and the experience of rediscovering intimacy in a post pandemic world. I am working. on a series that documents my life in 2020 and 2021. Using photography, text, sound and object-based installation, I am showing my own experience with grief after the death of my father. My work aims to show how grief is pervasive and can affect new experiences with touch and intimacy in a post pandemic world. I would like to continue working on this project.

This exploration around myself and my body continues in my present projects. For much of my artistic career, most of my work has been creating self-portrait series. The themes of these works have varied but have all connected to my own personal experiences. While these images are meant to reflect my own life, there is always an element of make believe. Fact and fiction are not a binary, but rather a spectrum. My work plays with that line. I am interested in blurring the lines between fact and fiction to create personal visual stories that are relatable to a larger audience.
