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 exhibited at the Hyde Park Art Center, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Elmhurst Art Museum, Beverly Arts Center, Arc Gallery, Woman Made Gallery, Bridgeport Art Center, The Art Center of Highland Park, Epiphany Center for the Arts, File Review, and many others. I have collaborated with Surface Design Association on social media content, contributed to their quarterly magazine, and developed and facilitated international meetups for their community. I’ve served as a grant panelist for Chicago's DCASE, am an alumna of the Bridge and Center programs at the Hyde Park Art Center, and I currently teach sculpture both in person and online.
