As an artist, a mother, and Christian, I try to capture feelings of nostalgia and make cross-cultural connections in my practice. Looking to textiles and household utensils as inspiration, I am constantly seeking ways to ask the viewer to examine their societal role and gain a new perspective. Through much of my work I query the viewer to listen to messages from outside their experience, which can encapsulate class, race, political, and moral ideals. My work empathizes with what it means to be human, and when multiple viewers engage with the work, it is my hope a conversation is started.
