My interdisciplinary art practice investigates connections between body, painting, and object by challenging visual and material assumptions about structure, form and representation. I seek to transcend constructed boundaries of physicality and identity across media through the integration of gestural painting, video, sculpture and installation approaches together. This conceptual rubbing of aesthetic disciplines elicits emergent states of being. I aim to expand limitations of perception, reexamine nuances of embodied knowledge, and open reflective spaces questioning the fluid realities we participate in.
I have exhibited works internationally, spanning contexts from Los Angeles, Berlin, to London. For my master’s degree I facilitated embodiment workshops and phenomenological methodologies to excavate identity frameworks somatically. Then blending movement arts with previous interior design work, my orientation fostered a distinct interdisciplinary syntheses. I also founded Keep it Clear, a creative tool for authentic expression informed by contemporary social and cultural issues.
