My creative practice is rooted in tender and deeply cherished relationships with other artists and creative folx. I offer audiences immersive art experiences, and they are invited to dive deep and make themselves at home. I make art because that is the essential way in which I grapple with inherent mysteries and ambiguities in life.
I am passionate about resilient and evolving ways to share and support art in my communities.
