     I am a self-taught, commission-based artist whose work often centers on portraiture that bridges absence and memory. Many commissions depict moments that could not occur due to the loss of a loved one—wedding days, multigenerational gatherings, and imagined continuities of family.

My personal practice explores the female form as both resilient and delicate, richly detailed and almost otherworldly. I frequently reference my own body as an act of confidence, discipline, and reclamation, drawing inspiration from the archetype of the wild woman.

Through creating for others, my life becomes fashioned with filaments of eternity.
