In this body of work, I am both the Artist and the subject. The works exist at the intersection of femininity, fertility, sexuality, destruction and personal freedom, as I work to uncover the fragility, strength, power and beauty of the female spirit and form.

Hand Painted Sneakers
I love slip-on sneakers and have a few well-loved pairs for every day. They’re so easy! I bought a pair to experiment painting on and ended up buying a ton more!! I wanted to make colorful, wearable art as well as a few neutral pairs in an animal print and in black, white and silver. I am obsessed and I’m happy to say that a few clients walking around with my creations are, too!
Why a Visual Journal is a Must in my Creative Process and Daily Routine
If there is one routine and creative process that shapes my entire studio practice it is my discipline with my visual journal. I keep a notebook journal where I write down my thoughts almost daily and I have a visual mood board where I hang photos, magazine cutouts and basically anything else that I find that is currently inspiring me. But the most important aspect of my studio practice is the work that I do in notebooks each and every day.
