ARTIST STATEMENT

Currently I have two practices - creating geometric abstract paintings and unique handmade snapback caps.

In my paintings I am interested in the simplicity of a single geometric shape and the complexity that can be created through the combination of many simple structures. This oppositional relationship between simple and complex is at the core of my work. My goal is to create a composition for the viewer that feels both simple, graphic and flat, while also complex, painterly, and deep. The hybridization of these opposing characteristics creates an experience that is not easily digested at one glance. Layers of discovery are created as the viewer experiences the precise and systematic while also the chaotic and expressionistic.

My hats are wearable art. Each hat is completely one of a kind and handmade from second hand upholstery fabrics.

#blackouttuesday This is just one way to speak out and start the necessary change. I’m taking time to think and learn and listen to cultivate more things I can do. ⬛️⬛️⬛️

Earlier in #2018 I had the opportunity to share my art with nearly all the elementary students in my hometown. I remember the Art Docents of Los Gatos coming into my class at Dave’s Ave - must have been my first introduction to art. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This hat didn't even make it out of the studio before someone snagged it. I had just enough of this floral textile to make one dope hat. What a lucky lady.
