about
I am a multidisciplinary artist working in Washington, DC. Using the constraints of domesticity, my work exists between the intersection of art and everyday life.
Through text, installation, and performance, I contemplate the distance between the numinous and the mundane, self and other. Inspired by 17th Century tantric meditation paintings, I began this work by transcribing sacred texts onto antique book pages. Practicing the ideals set out in texts, I seek boredom and discomfort as opportunities for inquiry and transformation.
I love school. I am a certified Yoga Therapist, and iRest® Yoga Nidra teacher. I received an MAT from the Corcoran College of Art and Design and a BA in Art and Art History from St. Mary’s College of Maryland. In August of 2024, I will receive an MPS in UX Design from the Maryland Institute College or Art in August of 2024.
I live with my husband, Jeff, and daughter, Birdie, who is autistic. I hiked 1,000 miles on the Continental Divide Trail, and I am the 2011 Champion of the Wrangell Mountain Tall Tales Award.
Artist statement
Through art I order my attention. Using language as a midpoint between the body and experience, my work objectifies and contemplates the ideals of nondualism. In a vigilant effort to remain awake, I give shape to what I know, so that it may be made real.
