Welcome

“The forms I paint come from a ﹌dream place﹌. They came to me in a dream, and I think of them as a language I can use to paint without the confines of hetero-normative identity, ethnicity, class, or historical context. These are forms that liberate me from all of those constraints, forms that hold space for wound healing. This work centers around the human body as land and water, and their liberation from colonizing forces. My paintings are also about caregiving because caregiving is an integral force in this liberation.

When working with plants for body care it is miraculous to discover that they support you in the physical realm (tissues, organs, fluids), they support you in the energetic realm (emotion, tension), and they support you in the spirit realm (connection, belonging).
