Drawing, painting, and printmaking form the foundation of my visual practice. Working across traditional and experimental techniques, I explore image-making through line, color, texture, and layered processes. These practices also inform many of my later works in illustration, collage, book arts, and mixed media. Screenprinting, drawing, collage, that graphic novel I started
My material practice spans a wide range of craft traditions including textiles, papermaking, jewelry, glass beads, and sculptural objects. I am drawn to hands-on processes that transform raw materials into tactile forms, from weaving and felting to metalwork, masks, and puppets. These works often intersect with costume, performance, and installation. Glass beads, metal work, enamel, weaving, costumes, felt dragons or knome, leather masks
Photography and digital media extend my visual practice into lens-based and time-based work. My training includes analog photography, experimental darkroom processes, digital imaging, video editing, and projection mapping. I am particularly interested in how digital tools can activate images in space, narrative, and interactive environments.
Graphic design allows me to translate artistic thinking into communication and visual storytelling. My work includes illustration, logos, layout design, and web-based media. I enjoy the intersection of aesthetics, clarity, and function that design requires.
Performance and embodied arts have long been part of my creative life. My background includes theatre, puppetry, music, and extensive dance training in Modern Dance, Argentine Tango, Baile Folklórico, Flamenco, Butoh, contact improvisation, and ecstatic dance, along with performances with the Bread and Puppet Theatre and touring New England in the gamelan ensemble, Sulukala. These practices shape my understanding of art as something experienced through the body—lived in time, shared with others, and rooted in cultural and collaborative traditions.
Much of my work engages with art as a social and collaborative process. I have participated in and helped produce community-based projects, interactive installations, festivals, and public art initiatives, including projects connected with Maker Faire and Burning Man. These works emphasize participation, shared creativity, and the transformation of public space.
Writing is a parallel creative practice that runs through my life. I write both fiction and nonfiction, including short stories, fantasy and sci-fi, speculative fiction, and reflective prose. I have kept journals for many years. Language offers another medium through which I explore imagination, narrative, and ideas.
