Artist Statement

My artwork revolves around the Gestalt Theory of Visual Perception, the concept that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It activates negative space and responds to the question posed by art historian Christine Poggi

“Does painting function as an aesthetically pleasing object (a ‘table’) or an extension of reality (a ‘tableau’)?”

I expose the materiality of digital and traditional mediums by abstracting familiar forms, overlaying textures, and borrowing techniques from different art practices.

My favorite mark-making mediums include ink, marker, watercolor, charcoal, Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, and MS Paint. 👩🏻‍🎨
