Artist Statement

My creative practice is rooted in joyful observation, daily rituals, and the power of visual storytelling. I draw to document the personaland the mundane—especially the objects, purchases, and ephemera that shape our everyday lives. Through illustration, lettering, riso-printing, and zine-making, I explore themes of consumption, connection, and community. I believe in the power of mark-making as a tool for reflection and exchange. Whether I’m teaching in the classroom or printing in the studio at Outlet, my goal is to create welcoming spaces where creativity is accessible, imperfect, and deeply human. Making is my way of paying close attention—and inviting others to do the same.
