Art + Extended Media

Inspired by the practice of reflection, gratitude, and spirituality, the content of my work often incorporates memories or symbolism that correlates with my values. There is great intention within each work, as to me creating is a form of worship. Nature is an ever-flowing muse of mine, I recognize God as the ultimate artist and enjoy mirroring truths of life through the natural world. There is intricacy in creation, both in our souls and the world around us. These values can be a bridge of understanding from myself to the viewer, with a deeper appreciation and recognition of what knits us all together.

Portrait of a Loved Soul
2025
Yarn, glass pebbles, glue, wire

A life stitched together in a mix of the proper and improper,
Irreversible moments.
You make them work together for good and glory.
Your view of me is like a good parent’s steadfast love,
Quick to forgive and care for.
Yet Yours is far greater than even the best mother and father
Adopted into Your kingdom under the veil of love do You see me
A value that can never be priced with earthly possessions,
But of heavenly life did You pay to call me Your own.
The greatest parts of me are where Your light shines through.
