Artist Statement

In my multi-disciplinary practice, I explore the profound and intricate journey of healing from sexual assault. Through a blend of painting, modeling, and mixed-media techniques, I delve into the transformative process of returning to oneself. My work is an invitation to witness and engage with the complexities of recovery, portrayed through vibrant and layered abstractions.

The central theme of my art revolves around the personal and collective experience of healing. By incorporating layers of bright, cheerful colors into my pieces, I aim to reflect the evolving nature of resilience and renewal. My use of acrylics, water, and upcycled materials speaks to a raw, unrefined approach that mirrors the often chaotic path of recovery. The messiness of my medium symbolizes the beauty and struggle of reclaiming one’s narrative and finding peace amidst turbulence.

Influenced by a deep-seated desire for inner tranquility and a commitment to supporting fellow survivors, my art serves multiple purposes. It is a testament to the tenacity and courage of those who endure and overcome trauma. Through my work, I seek to foster understanding and empathy, drawing attention to the pervasive issue of rape culture and the importance of creating space for difficult conversations. My practice is driven by a wish to normalize these dialogues and offer solace and recognition to those who have been silenced for too long.

I hope that viewers, particularly survivors, find a sense of validation and solidarity in my work. For allies, I aspire to illuminate the intricate realities of trauma and the strength inherent in each survivor’s journey. Ultimately, my goal is to inspire a deeper listening and a greater appreciation for the stories that shape our collective human experience.

In each piece, I strive to honor the path of healing—both my own and that of others—through art that is as layered and multifaceted as the journey itself.
