My practice is a playful system of interactions grounded in narratives from my own personal experiences as an artist living in the Ozarks. These moments are everyday accounts that go by almost unnoticed. These personal narratives are vehicles used to explore the material process. The obsessive layering of images only to be scratched away, painted over, or altered completely multiple times as I work removes the consistency and idleness the original narratives rely on. This gives space for the work to evolve past recounting and develop further into its own individual experience.

Due to the adaptive tendencies of my work, altering and changing to capture the progression of my own thoughts, my practice relies on being interdisciplinary. Most often, my work consists of acrylic paint, fabric, collaged paper, and wooden panels. The combination, separation, and alterations of these materials mirror my own changing and growing thoughts. My practice behaves as a personal anecdote both through its narratives and as a physical representation of my ongoing, developing reflections that occur throughout the making of the piece. I follow this mindset as it acts as a self-soothing strategy against the shaky turbulence of my day-to-day life, providing an opportunity of mundane contemplation.
