In my art I explore the interconnection between life and death. My work creates space for grief to exist without losing connection to the vibrancy of life. This exploration honors my beautiful child who passed away suddenly at age twenty two. After this experience my art became an act of radical authenticity that hopefully helps others along their journey and aids in creating a safe space in today’s society.
