From the moment I was born, my parents fostered a creative environment at home.

So I grew up being the fearless kid with the forever paint-stained hands who got glitter all over her parents’ bed.

(Sorry you had to go to work covered in glitter, dad!)

In college, I discovered my passion for lacrosse. As an athlete, I was challenged physically and mentally every time I stepped out on the field. Buzzing with tension, I had to learn to perform and sustain a high level of performance for long periods of time. In those moments, my brain automatically tunes into the space, the players, and the ball. It’s instant and automatic, to the point that it feels like a state of flow.

This experience led me to my signature artistic process.

My work consists of large pieces made of smaller objects meticulously (and often, tediously) made up through a demanding physical process. The more demanding those little parts are, the more I can immerse myself into it, connect to it, and tap into a similar state of focus and flow.
