Artist’s Statement

As a female multimedia artist and activist, I often use my art to explore themes of identity, objectification, gender bias, the male gaze, and voice as agency. Most recently, I’m inspired by my immediate surroundings in Palisade; sunrises, sunsets, and the breath-taking views of the Grand Mesa and Mount Garfield. I also take inspiration from our market garden and the fruits, vegetables, and flowers grown in it. These influences are evident in my most recent work focusing on Mother Earth.
