Artist Statement

My work begins with a fascination with nature combined with a love of pattern, decoration, and ornamentation. In my highly detailed work on paper, I morph nature with the decorative, creating an alternate “natural” world where flora and fauna, dense patterning, and a maximalist sensibility come together to create a new world of hybrid chandeliers, curious bouquets, and abundant gardens.  Boldly decorative and unapologetically pretty, these imagined worlds are characterized by symmetry, bold color and shimmering metallic detail that conjure a fantastical and idealized view of nature.
