About

I’m a self-taught artist living and working in Chicago. My collage practice began in 2020 as a private narrative serial, seeded by the isolation of the Covid pandemic. With a decades old collection of paper curiosities ranging from vintage print magazines, to postcards, religious tracts and sheet music- the past became my prologue. Piece by piece, my collage is a conversation with the world. A juxtaposition of society’s terrors, absurdities and attempted narratives that explore and expose the surreal aspects of feminism, trauma and power.

Recent works have showed at Chicago at T.F. Projects, “Feminist to the Core” group show, curated by Susan Aurinko and Susan Blackman of Curators Gone Rogue. And in Helsinki, Finland, at the Pasila Urban Art Center at the “Cut the Crab"collage exhibition. As well as a residency at the Kolaj Institute in December 2023 in New Orleans.

Local exhibitions have included group and solo shows at Rostrum 312, Arc Academy, Tony Fitzpatrick’s T.F. Projects / The Dime Gallery, One River Arts, WomanMade Gallery as well as Fulton Street Collective and LOCUS at The Martin in Chicago. Selected works are featured at CKS Collective and showcased at The Adler on the Park Show House 2022 on behalf of Studio Gild.

In March of 2024, I’ll be an artist-in-residence at the Chateau d’Orqeuvaux in the Haut-Marne region of France.
