My work is driven by material process as a way of thinking through impermanence, time, and the malleability of identity. I work primarily with steel, bronze, clay, and textiles, materials that undergo visible and irreversible change through casting, welding, weaving, and forming. These processes leave behind seams, scars, and residues that I treat as integral rather than corrective. I am interested in how materials carry memory: how heat alters metal, how clay records gesture, how fibers, when bound and wrapped, form structure. Conceptually, I approach sculpture as a site of transition, one that may hold moments of resolution, but never as fixed or final. My work emerges from a philosophical interest in Being as fluid and temporal, shaped through processes of change rather than defined by stable or absolute states.

I have shown at the Hyde Park Art Center, the Fine Arts Building, Elmhurst Art Museum, File Review, Woman Made Gallery, Comfort Station, Epiphany Center for the Arts, and many others. This past year, I collaborated with Surface Design Association on publications and international community programming and served as a grant panelist for Chicago's Department of Culture Affairs and Special Events (DCASE). I am an alumna of both the Bridge and Center programs at the Hyde Park Art Center, and was recently accepted into the Chicago Artist Coalition’s 2026-2028 Residency cohort. This summer I will panel for the National Endowment for the Arts and have a solo exhibition at Ignition Project Space.
