Through and in my work, I find the beauty in the darkness of my personal and inherited history. I explore themes of identity, trauma, silencing, sexuality, shame, change and transformation. My imagery ranges from abstract to representational. My subject matter is meant to take on multiple forms.
I was first introduced to printmaking at Mount Holyoke College, where I graduated with a BA in studio art. I was immediately drawn to the cathartic nature of carving, the multiple and very technical processes available and the ability to re-use and re-invent an image. I’ve recently started collaging with magazines, attracted to the immediacy of the medium and the ability to easily bring this practice into my home.
I currently live in Salem and work at the intersections of sensual somatics, sacred sexuality, earth medicines, and womb work and faciliate plant medicine retreats in Peru. You can learn more here: Sacred Moonflower
