My hand-embroidered paintings explore the sublimity of intimate moments that bridge human connection, solitude, and our relationship to the natural world. I distill lived experience and memory into a symbolic, sacred, and often dreamlike metaphysical realm, where the personal intermingles with art history, folklore and mythology. The meticulous process of hand embroidery is central to my practice. Learned through my maternal lineage, embroidery echoes the motions of painting and imbues the images with an ancestral depth and a reverence for the craftswomen who come before me.
