Artist Mission Statement: My work pivots off of natural and urban environments, sensory experiences, or conversations, and channels that into an emotive composition. I aim to shape contemplative moments and celebrate small or fleeting beauties.

Why Are You A Good Fit for this Program? My process is rooted in responding to context - I create in order to capture an experience or respond to an exchange of ideas. One of my workstreams abstracts images by a photographer friend who has been part of the swing dance community with me for the last several years. As a resident of the Outer Sunset for the last 6 years, I have a deep appreciation for the specific business identities that have developed over the years, and those that have been here long since before I arrived. I would love to collaborate with a neighbor business and apply my imaginative spin to make something unique to their space and reflects and amplifies their values.
