Artist statement:
My work examines the vulnerability of transitions through sculptural tapestry. I intuitively create organic shapes and structures using organic materials such as wool, cotton, and linen. Inspired by intersecting outlines of buildings throughout the city and the experimental prose styles of Lydia Davis and Clarice Lispector, I hope to challenge the traditional idea of tapestry.

After graduating she found a passion for food and farming and had her first encounter with weaving while working on a farm in New Mexico in 2014.
