Lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, USA

Artist statement

My practice includes creating collages, re-assembling, up-cycling mixed media, text, textiles and painting. My most recent work is inspired by a trip to Lesvos Island, Greece, where I volunteered to assist refugees fleeing for their lives from war and violence. My work synthesizes a critique about politics, technology, gender and culture in the on-going socio-economic struggle for the ‘ownership’ of the future. My intention is for my work to encourage, if not provoke the viewer to question contemporary cultures and circumstances. I am passionate about sharing my vision; to collaborate and participate with the community at large in enriching, a vibrant, just and healthy society through art.
