My work is pattern-forward, consisting of visual explorations rooted in traditionally female-dominated crafts such as quilting, sewing, and embroidery. Through close interaction with the work, viewer attention is drawn to elements of these practices that are often overlooked or undervalued, including repetition, labor, precision, and care. I am particularly fascinated by the way that simple geometric shapes and fibers piece together to create and communicate something greater than the sum of their parts.

Working primarily through painting and colored pencil drawings, I translate the motifs, structures, and techniques of textile traditions into a fine art context. This process allows me to investigate the tension and harmony between craft and fine art, honoring the histories embedded in these practices while reimagining their visual language.

At its core, my practice is a love letter to my grandmother, an artist in her own right who embroidered dresses, taught me to sew and knit, and shaped my understanding of the value of handmade work. After her passing, the repetition of pattern-making became a quiet remembrance, transmuting grief into devotion and preserving her legacy in the only way I knew how — by making things with love.
