First, I was a dancer. My parents signed me up for classes as soon as I could walk and I was on stage performing at 3 years old. Not to mention, all of the recitals I put on for my grandmother in my living room.

Then, I became a poet. I don’t know when or how, but it came very naturally and helped me to let out some of my teen-angst.

In high school I took a film photography class and 3 years of digital photography, honing my visual storytelling skills through the camera lens.

In college I studied studio art and got to explore a much wider range of media and techniques: drawing, painting, crochet, collage, sculpture, digital media, printmaking, dance, performance, instillation, and more.

My capstone project was a campaign called The Friendly Nipple which explored the unequal censorship of women’s bodies and our compulsive cultural abjection of the female body.

In 2020, I was gifted dozens of Playboy magazines to use as collage materials. You can read more about that project here.

In 2021 I learned a printing/ photography technique called anthotype which uses photosensitive plants and basic household ingredients to make photos. When I started living in an RV and traveling full time I would document the landscapes through this practice.

More recently, I have been experimenting with paper mache and making a series of masks which explore the concept of self and conformity.

Since 2022, I have also been learning to play ukulele so I can finally put my poetry to music!
