My work is centered around the concept of the noun—the people, places, and things that anchor our experiences and shape our understanding of the world. Through painting and printmaking, I explore how everyday subjects carry emotional, cultural, and symbolic weight.
Each figure, landscape, or object I depict invites reflection on presence and absence, memory and identity. Whether capturing a quiet door or a peaceful slumber, I aim to give visual form to the often overlooked moments that define our everyday life.
By working across different media, I engage with both immediacy and permanence—seeking a balance between spontaneity and structure, narrative and abstraction. My practice is a study of the tangible world and its quiet poetry, framed through the lens of the simplest yet most meaningful elements of language: nouns.
A recurring subject in my work is motherhood—not only as a personal experience but as a lens through which to view care, labor, intimacy, and transformation. Becoming a mother has changed my life, and the lens I use to see the world.
Join me for a closing reception as I talk about the works on the wall.
