I am a multimedia artist with a BFA in Fiber and Art History from the Kansas City Art Institute. My practice explores the many facets of womanhood through the lens of mythology, literature, film, and art history. Imbued with symbolism and narrative, my fiber work layers multiple surface design processes such as dyeing, painting with dye, applique, free-motion machine sewing, embroidery, and beading. In addition to these techniques, I paint with watercolor and gouache. 

Much of my work is inspired by or responding to historical works of art from my own perspective, specifically in regards to portrayals of women. I am curious about how contemporary life relates to the experiences of those who came before us, and I believe that learning about the past can teach us so much about why things are the way they are today. The study of art history reveals many of those lessons. 

Through studying ancient Greek art and culture, I became interested in the deeper meanings of myths and what those stories can say about the people who tell them, much like how a culture’s artwork reveals the beliefs of those who created and consumed it. My current body of work is centered around female figures from Greek mythology and how the archetypes they represent relate to the female experience.
