Artist Statement

I am a mixed media artist based in Central Minnesota. My work features Midwest imagery, landscapes, animals, and traditionally feminine craft, reflecting my lived experience in Greater Minnesota. Drawing from moments preserved in my camera roll, each piece highlights a precarious yet familiar instant, inviting viewers to construct a narrative or metaphor from the imagery. My lifelong affinity for farm animals and wildlife inspires my attention to capturing the spirit and personality of each creature in my artwork. 

Creating art, whether slow and deliberate or playful and childlike, is therapeutic and reflective of my life's journey. My art is sometimes inspired by heavy themes, but creating art is a gift of joy. I similarly aim to inspire joy through my use of bright colors, humorous sayings, and curious creatures.
