Artist Statement

My work begins with the small things people keep — a chipped teacup, a grocery list tucked into a book, a folded letter —and asks what these objects remember on our behalf. I move between oil on canvas, digital illustration, and mixed-media assemblage because no single medium holds the full weight of a quiet inheritance. Recent projects have traced the textures of domestic space across three generations of my family, using paint as a way of listening and digital layering as a kind of translation. I am interested in slowness, in the stories we almost lose, and in making room for the viewer to bring their own grandmother into the room.
