Who I am
I am an artist from Woodstock, New York who seeks to create work within the realms of unity and hope. Currently studying at SUNY Oneonta.
What I do
I create using fabric collage, sculpture, and any other tactile and expressive medium that I can get my hands on. Often using found or salvaged materials.
What my work means
I seek to inspire feelings of connection and self reflection through both medium and imagery. To create something you can see yourself or parts of your life within. I pull from my own life, with the hope you will weave your own experiences into the story.
What I care about
I care about humans and the world we are a part of. I believe that we are a part of the environments we exist within; that all living things have a job to do that greatly impacts the whole. I care about moss a lot, and taking notice of the small things around us.
