Figures in my work exist in quiet, introspective spaces—often searching for something just beneath the surface. Their physical weight mirrors the emotional weight we carry, while subtle distortions and surreal environments introduce moments of humor, discomfort, and unexpected lightness.

I’m drawn to creating narratives that balance these tensions—seriousness and absurdity, gravity and whimsy. Much of this extends into my miniatures and dioramas, where I build small, self-contained worlds that invite close looking. These spaces allow for a focus on the nuances of feeling, from sorrow and isolation to hope and ambiguity. Light often plays a central role, shaping what is revealed or withheld and adding to a sense of intimacy and distance.

That same sensibility carries into my printmaking, where I work in black and white to explore darker emotional states—feelings that echo the current moment—while using humor as a way to both soften and sharpen their impact.

Across my work, I’m interested in how emotion can feel both deeply personal and widely shared, and in creating spaces that allow for reflection, empathy, and connection.
