Hello ✿

I am an artist and writer. I draw from photographs I take of the world around me. My subjects are chosen for what they hold about time, memory, and aliveness. Mostly food, flowers, et al.

I'm inspired by contemporary internet culture, the longstanding practice of observational still life, the Chinese tradition of unifying image and text, and above all, the texture, light, tastes, memories, and smells of the observable world. I am always trying to reconcile the tension between the unexplainable abstract and reality as we see it.

As someone who moves between mediums with a broad background outside of fine art, part of my practice within a system that rewards fast scrolling and strong opinions is to work thoroughly and look closely, and to treat technology, access, and context as multipliers of meaning. You can read more of my writing and learn about my process on my Substack.

Thank you for visiting!
