I am an interdisciplinary artist who combines photography and textiles to visually anatomize inquiries into queerness and phenomenology. The tension between the opacity of abstraction and the transparency of image making materially corresponds to my own navigation of visibility in daily life. By intimately manipulating and transposing images to cotton and subsequently hand-sewing, weaving, collaging, and quilting the fabric into textile objects, I explore this paradox of visibility.

I am a candidate for the M.A. in Art Therapy at New York University (‘28). My integrative approach to art therapy mirrors the interdisciplinary navigation of self that occurs in my art practice. As an artist, I bring a deep sensitivity to material, process, and ambiguity: allowing me to guide others in exploring complex emotions beyond language. I aim to hold space for vulnerability and support healing through making for clients with a diverse range of desires.
