My practice begins by immersing myself outdoors in nature. Remaining present in my near environment, I breath and observe, focusing my view on small details and also bounding landscapes. I photograph inspirations and beauty. I find and forage materials, textures, shapes, lines and colors that have fallen to the ground below and attract me.

I am highly influenced by my own personal neurodivergence as well as my children’s. These beautiful and challenging differences in myself and my kids affect me greatly and guide many themes in my work. 

I believe in protecting mother earth, and working to preserve healthy ecosystems through informed conservation efforts. The importance of uplifting nature is not only thematic in my work but also material. With my use of foraged organic and also repurposed found items which were previously littered or left comprising my structures, I hope to spark admiration of and reconnection to nature. 

My spirituality and pointed interest in energy, astronomy, astrology, ancient cultures and religions, archeology and sacred geometry also greatly inform my work. 

Another key element of my process is yoga. I work daily to elevate my frequency through flowing movement. This effort produces a mental stillness, allowing me to arise deep reflections of feelings around my experiences and beliefs, which I can then translate into ideations of sculptural form.

While actively making, I use my foraged and found elements, and align them with my abstract aim. Focus on now guides intuitive melding of the repurposed with traditional artistic mediums to balance meaning with color, form, function and detail, generating my finished works.
