My work is an ode to noticing. It is devoting attention to everyday scenes and creating small moments of vibrant joy within that. My practice is allowing the high-sensory perspective I hold to be fully explored and conveyed, largely through rich textural mediums such as oil pastel and textiles. As in my work before identifying as an artist in a professional sense, my art continues to research the relationships between people and places on varying scales, always wondering about the ideas of belonging, comfort, joy and home. I often play with classic American quilt patterns to and use ethically sourced materials to design and create bright, clean textile works that harmonize with my saturated impressionistic oil pastel pieces.
