I am a mixed media artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. In introducing myself and my work, I like to note that the name of the town where I live – El Sobrante – translates into English as the leftovers, or, remainders. This coincides with my artistic vision of recycling elements from both the natural and the human-made world. I like how cast-off leaves, branches, papers, and textiles can form little stories, shape moods, and evoke beauty.
I use a variety of media, including the debris itself, in my artwork to represent or recreate what I have seen and felt when encountering these moments of unexpected beauty. I am interested in the shaping of new narratives about my relationship to the world around me, as a person with a disability, as well as exploring the power of resilience in nature. I utilize a wide variety of techniques in layering images and materials to create the feeling diverse relationships in nature and society.
