WELCOME TO MY STUDIO!

ARtist Statement:

My work explores the nexus of feminine identity, nature, and power in society through the subversive understanding of plants and use of organic materials. Utilizing traditional woodcarving techniques, I create sculptural jewelry and functional art from wood collected by myself, friends and family. My creative approach relies on intuition, allowing the unique character and variation of the wood to inform my designs, while sometimes incorporating complimentary materials ranging from bones and moss to metal and epoxy. I draw inspiration from delving into the historical and cultural significance of forests, trees, wood, and herbaceous plants - as well as my education and work experience as a forester. Through my art, I aim to highlight how unconventional botanical knowledge can be used to empower individuals, encouraging viewers to consider how they interact with our natural world.

I’m a very passionate and enthusiastic person and I love being able to follow my whims to create original pieces that bring me joy.

I am also a cat enthusiast! Meow.

    Well, I guess it’s time we come clean about our foster fail. Colin is the cat we never wanted but now can’t live without. He will be heading up the accounting department which is not a euphemism for OnlyFans…but he does have cute feet.
