My paintings emerge from abstract chaos layers and pareidolia, emotive mark making and intuitive response. At their core, whether playful or more serious, they are simply intimate conversations about learning to live a life of love for God and people (including & perhaps especially those I’d rather not love) on this side of forever in quotidian and extraordinary ways. (Matthew 22:37-40)


In addition to mixed media paintings, I create: mixed media plastercloth + cardboard ‘makings’, oil pastel paintings, encaustic paintings and encaustic+clay sculptures, wood carved figurines, traditional prints by hand and punched & hooked textiles. I also enjoy creating zines and designing stickers, bookmarks, and snail mail art. All of these explorations are fueled by my love of an expressive, folky, visceral, imperfect, naive aesthetic and the creative process itself.
