This Season

Rather than slowing my creative work, this season has expanded it.

Art has always been the way I make sense of the world. Whether through painting, writing, jewelry, watchmaking, or music, I have spent my life exploring time, memory, family, loss, and the quiet ways people continue forward after difficult seasons. Each medium asks something different of me, but together they have become one conversation, one lifelong search for meaning through making.
This past year has been the most challenging of my life. While navigating an ongoing custody case as the main day-to-day caregiver for my three children, my creative work has become far more than a profession or a passion. It has become the place where I return to myself.
Creating gives shape to experiences that would otherwise feel impossible to carry. It restores my energy, reminds me who I am beneath the circumstances, and allows me to transform hardship into something that can offer meaning, beauty, and connection, both for myself and for others.

The Work

  • Music

    Keeps Time

    My debut full-length album, Keeps Time, is a collection of original songs about family, memory, inherited stories, grief, love, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again. Written during an extraordinary season of change, these songs became a way of giving voice to stories that painting and prose alone could not fully express.

    The title track received Second Place in its category in the 2026 Talent Is Timeless International Songwriting Competition.

  • Visual Art

    The Paintings

    My paintings explore memory, identity, inheritance, and the ways our experiences become embedded in us. Working across paint, embroidery, stitching, and mixed media, I build surfaces that carry their own histories: layered, marked, repaired, and transformed.

    The work often begins with something deeply personal, but I am interested in the place where an individual story becomes a shared one, where what has been lived can become something recognizable to someone else.

  • Writing

    The Novels

    Two novels in progress explore the ways our histories and relationships shape who we become, and what it takes to find ourselves again.

    The Schooling asks how we are formed by the people, places, experiences, and expectations that teach us who we are supposed to be.

    All the Days turns toward reclamation, following a woman across four years as memory, love, loss, and creativity gradually lead her back to herself.

  • Jewelry

    Objects

    Jewelry gives me another way to explore the patterns, layers, and relationships that run through all of my work. I am drawn to assembling individual elements and discovering how color, texture, repetition, and form can build upon one another until they become something entirely new.

    Like writing or painting, the process is one of composition: finding structure within disparate pieces and allowing each element to become part of a larger whole. The result is something both sculptural and intimate, an object of art made to be worn and carried into everyday life.

Stories in Film

Some stories ask to be told in more than one form. These short films bring together original music, photographs, artwork, memory, and place, creating a visual world around the songs and the stories they carry.

Long Ago

Long Ago. A meditation on childhood, memory, and the places that remain part of us long after we leave them. Through original music and photographs from the community where I grew up, Long Ago looks back at the people, landscapes, and ordinary moments that quietly shape who we become.

On Canvas

Painting is where color, texture, image, and material come together. My canvas work often grows through layers of paint, embroidery, stitching, and found or unexpected elements, allowing each piece to evolve slowly as one mark, pattern, or idea responds to another.

Like the songs and stories, these works explore memory, identity, inheritance, resilience, and the ways our experiences leave their marks upon us.

The Place

My studio is rarely separate from my life. My home is the place where I raise my children and the place where I write, paint, record, and make.

Nearly everything begins at the kitchen table or in the small bedroom closet that has become my recording studio. The work happens between appointments, school schedules, ordinary responsibilities, and the rhythms of family life.

Creativity does not happen after life settles down. It happens in the middle of it.

Recognition

Recognition

The title track from Keeps Time received Second Place in its category in the 2026 Talent Is Timeless International Songwriting Competition. As the first song written during this season of my life, the recognition felt especially meaningful, affirming a creative voice I was only beginning to trust again.
