I thought it was already figured out
Finishing the experimental Quilt piece reminded me of a humbling truth: learning and perfecting a new process always takes time. Like other parts of this project, I underestimated how much time developing a new skill takes. I think that's why I sometimes resis...
Two steps forward, one step back
Now that I’ve printed enough fabric to create what I imagine will be a corner of hanging silkscreened fabric, I’m not entirely sure what comes next. My mind keeps circling through possibilities, over and over.
In a meeting with Michael David, he assured me I alre...
Now that I have decided a basic theme or direction for the installation I thought it was a good idea to work with the model of the space. The room is long and narrow with very high ceilings with a black framework of lighting close to the ceiling. I envisioned lighting playing an important role in...
It's been a few months into my installation project, which is planned for exhibition in October 2026. I knew this was going to be a challenge—these first few months feel like things are moving very slowly—but in my meetings, Michael David assures me I'm on target.
I've brainstormed an endless min...
Finding the Next Big Challenge
After my residency/exhibition with Michael David this summer (at Art Cake, Brooklyn, NY), I decided that the next challenge for me would be to tackle a site specific installation, something I've been thinking about doing for quite a while.

Walking Into Something Bigger
I just wrapped up my residency with Yellow Chair Salon at Art Cake in Brooklyn, and honestly? I'm still processing it all. There's so much to unpack from this experience - it really shifted how I see my work and what's possible as an artist.
The first da...
Studio Update
Well it's been about 2 months since I signed the lease to my new studio in Lörrach, Germany. I finally spruced the place up, moved in and am ready to get back to work. Before I do, I thought I would share a bit of the process with you. It was a big task but I'm super happy with the ...
The perfect studio, I found it!
One of the goals I wanted to tackle in 2022 was to find a larger studio in order to make larger work. At the beginning of the year I teamed up with Juliette Lepage Boisdron and Karima Duchamp, two colleagues who were also looking. Our idea was that it might be easi...
Self reflection makes for an interesting self portrait
My artwork has gone through a huge shift in the past year. I began the year with a process of gluing burlap onto a wood substrate and then covering the burlap with plaster and acrylic paint. During the course of the year I was able to discern...
When the student is ready...
... the teacher appears. After returning home from my 5 month residency in Florence, I felt a bit lost in my studio. I was searching for a clear and objective way to look at my work and I was trying to figure out which way to go next. I explored many ideas and directi...
Trying Something New...
For the past few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about an upcoming residency programming I will be doing in the States. Up until this time I have been working primarily on wood panels. I like this substrate because I’m able to sand, scrape and add all kinds of texture to t...
