Using light and gesture to explore the space between inner world and embodiment.
Settling into myself as an artist, I've found that slow, intentional presence leaves the deepest mark. I'm revisiting old practices and simple gestural techniques, asking: What is in this moment? What stays? What goes unnoticed until it's gone?
The deeper I fell into visual expression, the more I longed to reconnect with that of my ancestors. So I pursued a long-time dream of mine: learning Chinese calligraphy. This meditative practice of rhythm, composition, and flow built me a body of work beyond words.
Fresh out of corporate America, I needed to express everything that my job stifled: emotional release, freedom, sensuality, and unapologetic femininity. Self-taught and tapped into my connection to the body as a dancer, drawing the figure became my gateway to the visual arts.
