Artist Statement 

Working across painting, sculpture, photography, and media installation, I process and embody my experience of neurodivergence. Composing a visual language of repeated forms, I infuse my work with personal narrative through charged symbols and stylized figures set within turbulent abstract landscapes. 

 

As a small child, I would slam my head against the ground. Not out of distress, but out of disorientation. Struggling to cope, unable to reconcile where my body ended and the world began. Born with both sensory integration disorder and dysgraphia, I have always interpreted visual and spatial information differently. As I grew, the acute confusion slowly dissipated, but my difficulties with fine-motor and cognitive processes have remained. Embracing the imprecision of my hand, I work through loose marks, unsteady lines, and uneven forms as dynamic modes of abstraction. Grounding and orienting myself in the physicality of making, I enter into conversation with my materials as collaborators rather than subjects to be mastered or controlled.
