My work is often personal and rooted in themes of identity, memory, loss, girlhood and self-understanding. I hope to pursue an MA in Art Therapy post-college and am interested in how making can become a way of preserving and reconnecting with memory, as well as a tool for processing and better understanding lived experience. That being said, I also enjoy working on commercial briefs and am eager to learn and develop my skills as much as possible.
