STATEMENT
My work has always explored the meaning of home. The theme of home started to show up in my work first in 2020 through my surreal landscape-portraits where I depict the figure as the environment itself to connect a person to a place. This concept stemmed from my long-term adventures camping and road tripping the U.S, where I curated a sense of home on the road, rooting myself through wildness.
This theme of home has now found itself into my current body of paintings that I am developing in collaboration with my good friends, fellow artists, and roommates; Aida Alarcon and Isabella Martino for our group show, How I See Her, that had its debut at Roy C.Moore Gallery in Gainesville, GA in September 2024.. How I See Her explores the sense of home you share through female friendships, breaking ancestral cycles, and girlhood.
