Artist Biography / Artist Statement
I use art making to navigate, translate, and deeply ponder our greater society as well as my own community and circumstances. I begin my work with a central figure—for example, Mary, Britney Spears, or a family member or friend—before building up layers of paint, collected toys, found objects, and more. The layers become a history deeply entrenched with characters on their own journeys, as if they’ve left my mind and begun a life of their own.

Humor serves as an entry point to the realities of our messed-up world. Eyes play an important role in the work—eyes personify objects. My work around me sees me; they witness my life with their eyes.

I create to survive. I am the work, and the work is me.
