About

I earned my MFAW in writing from School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My work has been platformed around the globe, including exhibitions and residencies in the Netherlands, Korea, the U.S., Wales, and the United Kingdom.

Artist Statement

I am an artist working at the intersection of language, narrative, and visual art. With extensive international experience, I explore myth—what is true, what is mistaken for truth, and what lies beyond it. My work examines the gap between ontology (the nature of existence) and epistemology (how we record and understand experience). Drawing from history, folk wisdom, fairy tales, and science, I create interdisciplinary art that blends creative writing with visual forms.
