Artist Statement
With an emphasis on photographic processes, I make images and objects that explore the interwoven relationships between beauty/wellness and motherhood/childhood. I am fascinated by the potential growth, transformation, and healing that can come in the receiving of beauty and the act of mothering. The permission to become curious and explore my world through art making and the knowledge I’ve gained in therapy allow for the dual experience of feeling like a child and self-mothering. By capturing moments of my children in their daily life, manipulating and layering imagery, and playing with colors and objects in where I find beauty, I’m unearthing the in between spaces of motherhood, what it means to be a grown child, and the adult self.
