I am an artist hailing from the green, swampy lands of north Florida. I earned my BFA from the University of Florida with a concentration in printmaking, and moved to San Antonio, Texas to pursue a career in the arts. My first year in Texas was spent working for and teaching classes at the non-profit printmaking organization StoneMetal Press, helping to promote fine art printmaking and education through the arts. I've also worked for the Southwest School of Art and Craft as a teacher in the Mobile Arts Program.

My work is influenced by feminist and body issues, and often questions the ideal figure and female gender roles. I tend to utilize all traditional forms of printmaking and incorporate mixed media, including fabric and spray paint, sometimes linking prints together with layering and hand-sewing. The hand-sewn, fabric prints serve also to represent women's work and craft, symbolizing the repetitive nature to gendered work and the multiple layers of women's roles in society.

Related issues in my work are memory, death, sexuality and their interconnectedness throughout my experience. These experiences are often the catalyst for new work. My personal battles in the artmaking process are not so much to give contextual meaning to my imagery, but to find the best visual vocabulary for the concepts I need to express. Symbolism and an exploration of personal memory combine to create the referent to events, places, people, and smells. As an artist, I attempt to catalog, identify, or dissect the world around me through the media of print.
