ABOUT ME
I am a multidisciplinary craft artist based in Los Angeles with a passion for all things art and aesthetics. My artistic practice is defined by experimentation of form and technique. I am constantly seeking out new materials which has helped me to build proficiency in various mediums. My work is largely process-driven, emphasizing the tangible qualities of each chosen medium and using those qualities to communicate meaning. Presently, I have been interested in playing with natural phenomena like biomimicry and fractal patterns.
Current projects include functional and decorative pottery (both hand-built and thrown), fiber and textile arts, beading, sewing, photography, mixed-media collage, and graphic design.
I am currently curating a show with Paulette Hartman for Birdhouse Gallery in Los Angeles this upcoming Spring. More information can be found here.
