My artistic journey, shaped by a lifelong exploration of tactile experiences and a fascination with thread, texture, and fiber-based materials, encompasses diverse mediums. Inspired by the rhythms of nature and a belief in a universal spirit, my abstract pieces metaphorically explore relationships and connections, seeking order in chaos.
Each artwork, marked by my experiences and materials I’ve collected over the years, narrates a unique story. This balance of materials and intentions results in an expression of organic elegance, celebrating beauty in imperfection.
My piece, Don’t Let Them See You Cry, will be included in the inaugural exhibition ‘The New City of Ladies’ at the Turner Carroll Gallery in Santa Fe. It is part of a series of work that delves into the intricate responses to loss and survival. By using the sensual quality of borosilicate glass, metal chain and vintage linen thread, the work conveys the delicate process of navigating emotions while emphasizing the importance of coping mechanisms and self-care.
