BIOGRAPHY
I’m a hippie kid and a free spirit who has always been encouraged to create. Environmentalism and social justice were ingrained in me while living in a commune with my parents. Traveling across the United States, picking fruit, and living adventures shaped my sense of wonder and remain my greatest inspiration.
After my unconventional childhood, I continued to forge my own path. I was emancipated at an early age; the world became mine to explore. My travels and experiences, both good and painful, shaped the woman and the artist I am today.
My practice led me to develop new signature techniques and materials. I instinctively give life to what others might call garbage—gathering plastic waste to create my own pliable material. My work draws from abstraction, minimalism, Dadaism, ikigai, anti-consumerism, and a deep dedication to legacy. I don’t wish to recreate the created; I seek to manifest imagination itself.
Recently, I relocated from Miami to Cincinnati. I wanted to slow down, to rediscover hills, historic architecture, and materials absent in Florida. In my new 100-year-old studio, I’m eager to create on a larger scale and reconnect with the tactile roots that continue to define my art.
