Statement

I am a passionate artist that has a heavy focus on weaving, soft sculpture and manipulating form. I enjoy integrating art with its environment. I work with all kinds of media from traditional graphite to digital works as well as clay, metal, and painting. I'm also very interested in museum curation as well as the conservation of art and would love to further my knowledge on the subjects. I have received multiple scholarships to further my future career in art, one of these scholarships being provided by the Artists Association of Nantucket. My work has been featured in multiple exhibitions including Massachusetts College of Art and Design FA3D show (2024) and the Souperbowl CACP by Haley House (2022).
