ARTIST'S STATEMENT
In my artwork I use inks and alcohol markers to create illustrations emphasizing narrative and visual storytelling. I combine observational and imaginative drawing to explore such themes as nostalgia, memory, and how the familiar and mundane intersect with the fantastical. Since 2023, I’ve been exploring these themes further through a series of artist's books, using paper folding and interactive elements to encourage exploration. To see more of my artwork and practice, you can find me on Instagram:
