I’m a multimedia artist and my art is about expression and connection. I've never had one big heady vision because my art speaks much more through my body and emotions, bursting out in joy or in heart-wrenching sorrow that must be seen and named. The process is the pleasure. Since childhood, sculpture has come most easily. I love to create with my hands and feel my whole body as part of the expression.

My curiosities have introduced me to endless channels of creativity, each connecting with distinct aspects of myself. Some earn me a living, while others tap into a rawness ripping through me, and still others help me transcend and reinvent myself. Painting has soothed heartbreak. Metalworking grounds and focuses. Aerial dance brought me nose-to-nose with a stubborn fear of heights, teaching me to hold myself in compassion while at my edge, feeling softening and expansion until one day that fear no longer tripped me up. All this happened in community, with a supportive group cheering me on. Every mode of expression that I've cultivated has been in some form of dialogue with others. I used to wonder if my lack of singular attention was a shortcoming, but now I know differently. My nature is to connect. I am here to explore in playful inquisition, so that I can know myself more deeply, inhabit my world more consciously, and draw an intimacy of true community more closely around me.
