About

My work began as a way of listening—first to materials, then to my body, and now to the quiet space between grief and renewal. In 2023, when my husband died, the ground shifted beneath every definition I had of love, home, and purpose. Raising my daughter alone has been both anchor and expansion—an ongoing dance between strength and surrender.

Out of this turning came a changing language for me: movement stitched with fabric, gesture layered with history, and breath laced with memory. I began creating costumes and performance pieces that embody transformation—born from meditations on poisonous plants, whose dual nature mirrors the paradox of healing and harm, beauty and danger.

Through this work, I seek not only to express loss but to metabolize it—to trace the alchemy that makes life out of endings. Somewhere between dance and sculpture, ritual and play, I rediscovered joy—strange, vibrant, and alive in the same soil as sorrow.

Artist Statement

My work lives at the intersection of performance, sculpture, and ritual. I create dance-based performances using costumes and textile installations that I design and construct by hand—often from vintage garments, natural fibers, and found materials. These pieces act as both sculpture and skin, transforming with movement and embodying the tension between vulnerability and resilience.

What I’m exploring now feels like a dialogue between grief and transformation—how the body can become a vessel for both. My recent work has been inspired by meditations on poisonous plants, whose dual nature reflects the complexity of healing: beauty and danger intertwined.

Before returning to performance, I worked for many years in arts education and administration, helping other artists realize their visions. I’m proud of that chapter—it taught me the value of community and collaboration, which continue to shape how I approach my own work.

My current practice is raw, exploratory, and often cathartic—an unfolding process of rediscovery. I blend my background in modern dance, theatre, pole dance, sculptural installation, and textile work to create immersive art experiences that connect with audiences on a visceral level. What sets my work apart is the way it invites viewers to feel—to recognize something of their own transformation reflected in mine.
