Bio
Inspired equally by nature, emotion, and loss, my work focuses on evoking a dream-like nostalgia through clothing. Growing up as a quiet child, I spent most of my youth examining and honing in on details. This fascination has appeared as a motif through multiple facets of my artistic expression such as my experience as a makeup artist and textile designer.
Life and death, light and dark, dull and vivid, are opposing realities all around us.
Although they are opposite, to some extent, they are also partners, for when they are joined, the contrast creates interest. I question how to hold both truths simultaneously through dialectical thinking and quiet reflection. I seek to find the balance between tension and softness in my work, and this push and pull carries throughout my entire creative process.
