I am a mixed-media artist working primarily in collage. My studio is a treasure trove of inspiration, where the creative process begins the moment a single material sparks an idea. Pulling from this collection, I layer images culled from magazines and design sources with handmade papers, vintage laces, trims, and other ephemera—each piece guiding the next until the composition is complete. Informed by both art history and my own familial roots, my work carries a nostalgic tone that is at times surrealistic, quirky, feminine, and delicate. Ultimately, I want my viewers to feel a sense of curiosity and to be warmed by the distinct moods I create.
