About

I am a mixed media artist from Royal Oak, Michigan currently based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I received a Bachelor of Fine Art with an emphasis in Print media from Western Michigan University in 2020. My current techniques include analog collage, hand sewing on paper, gel medium transfer, xerox transfer, and drawing. My work has been exhibited locally in Michigan as well as internationally through various galleries and print publications. Some notable galleries I’ve had the honor of exhibiting artwork through include the Kalamazoo Institute of Art, Lansing Art Gallery & Education Center, and PxP Gallery. My most notable print publication commission work includes Le Monde newspaper in France.

My work explores the ways in which our memories undergo natural changes as we age and become abstract. Every time we recall memories from our long-term memory, in particular, some of the information either gets lost in the retrieval process or our brains fill in small gaps with other memories, resulting in a slightly different and ever changing “false” memory. Memories losing their clarity is a natural process that we all experience, whether we realize it at the time or not; It's inevitable. By compiling, scanning, gluing and sometimes sewing these “memories” together, I’m able to reflect on the fleetingness of memories, temporality of life, and passage of time- reminding us all that everyone’s memory is temporary.
