About

I am a queer disabled artist and Nashville native. I’m self taught, and creating has become the way I process and imagine new worlds. I see art, both making it and viewing it, as therapy, exploration, and a communal point of connection. 

Yayoi Kusama famously said, “I followed the thread of art and somehow discovered a path that would allow me to live.” This has also been true for me. Creating art has served in my life as a way to process and heal from traumatic experiences, empowering me through despair, chronic pain, and disability.

I create with paper in both 2D and 3D and often combine drawings or paintings with collage and sculpture, sometimes incorporating poetry. My art materials are strange little scraps I’ve collected over the years, supplemented by creative reuse exchanges. 

All my life I’ve felt like an outsider and spent a lot of time daydreaming of other universes. My art reflects a certain kind of loner surrealism and it is the one place I feel most truly myself.
