About
I am a mixed-media artist, exploring psychiatric illness through drawing, printmaking, and installation.
My autoethnographic practice engages with themes of embodiment, trauma, and shared witnessing, working towards creating immersive, relational experiences that invite reflection on the complexities of mental health.
Through the manipulation of material, I explore the entanglement of play and vulnerability, order and disorder.
Drawing inspiration from the body, microscopy, landscapes, and lived experience, I am interested in the intersection of art and medicine, exploring the many subjective facets of health, contributing to the field of medical humanities.
