Cards

I make notecards that reflect the life of a working artist who is also a parent. Limited archive.

Contact me for availability.

Painting

I render personal artifacts into abstract paintings on commission for individuals.

I am curious about how we hold other people's belongings, how these belongings have narratives, and how these narratives twist into our own. In the past, I have worked with marriage vows, poems, eulogies, found letters, photographs, etc.

This project is accumulative, spread-out, and has been ongoing since 2008. Work rests in private residencies of participants.
