My practice is my space to represent how I see the world. I work in printmaking, ceramics, and oil paint to visually construct a world that memorializes and builds upon the midwestern, queer, political, and pop culture experiences that shape me. I weave together the things that infuriate and inspire me into an aesthetic language that brings me joy and communicates how I feel in the world. Nostalgia is a driving force in my work, and my practice allows me to hold moments close and keep them alive. I am energized when people identify with these moments in my art.

We all just want to be seen and heard, I think.

Whether I am sharing techniques through creative workshops, putting together exhibitions, or passionately explaining the genius behind a song or painting I really love, I always prioritize accessibility. I believe creativity, like most things, thrives in connection, and art should feel approachable rather than distant or exclusive.
