My work begins with an action—a tear, a drilled hole, a mark—and unfolds as a conversation between process, material, and memory. Initially trained in printmaking, I currently work with paper, wood, clay, and metal, pushing each medium beyond its traditional use. Heavy, hot-press paper can be fragile but also robust. Clay remembers touch. Wood can mimic metal; metal can take on the delicacy of paper.

Nature, especially time spent near water, is a core source of inspiration - not to replicate, but to evoke a sense of place through material gesture and physical action. While I care deeply about technique and material integrity, I’m not looking for mastery. I’m looking for energy and each mark is a record of that pursuit.
