Self Portrait

While my Bachelor’s of Fine Arts work was mostly sculptural, my Masters of Fine Arts work was focused on social consciousness, identity, and found objects. This was a project I worked on that allowed me to reclaim, reinterpret, and revision my own self image.

Art Projects From Academia

While my Bachelor’s of Fine Arts work was mostly sculptural, my Masters of Fine Arts work was focused on social consciousness, identity, and found objects. This time in my artistic journey was focused on identity - both of myself and the people, places, and objects around me.

Placenta & Umbilical Cords

My work with umbilical cords and placenta comes from the connection with my birth mother, who I never knew. This has continued to evolve, both in form and meaning, going from 2D to 3D, which has coincided with an ever-evolving understanding of my own connection to moms, motherhood, and the amazing female body. 

Beauty in a Vital Organ

There is beauty and connection within these organs that can be viewed as ugly and purely functional, yet how can such a vital function of life be seen as anything but beautiful and majestic. There can be an imprint in this body material that is shed after birth - a beauty in something that ends up being thrown out all too often.
