My hands guide me to be present and mindful. Through touch and haptic awareness, intuition directs my exploration of color and design. Years of painting, drawing, and collage have laid the groundwork for stitching, felting, and mending. These mindful, meditative practices provide me solace.

Making objects by hand has a long history as a poetic and spiritual practice. Creating is an act that respects the known, unknown, and not-yet-conscious of our collective human experience. It acknowledges the need that human beings have to mark time, create beauty, and mitigate trauma using our own bodies.
