I was born with nomadic heart. I've lived many places and constantly seek opportunities to travel - explore. I am grateful for my journey - to connect profoundly with this strange yet familiar world. I process these experiences through my art - to find peace with the unanswered questions - a balance with the oppositions.
My designs and mediums are always evolving and reflecting these experiences. In Ecuador, a country rich with artisinal goods I was first introduced to natural dyes and intricate silversmithing. Living in Malawi I was inspired by the seasonally lived life - the raw connection to the earth. From this I started to experiment with clay and natural fibers. Lately, as I am at another of life's transitions - a rebirth of my self - I feel inspired by the contrast and relationship between metal and fibers. The subtle birthing from the rigid.
I'm honored to share my reflections with you.
Love to you and your journey.
