ARTIST STATEMENT
Storytelling, play, and careful attention are central to my work. My furniture, sculptures, puppets, and drawings tell stories that move between personal narrative and shared experience, intertwining truth with imagination. Through cutting, carving, gluing, stitching, and sketching, I place my experiences in an intricately constructed, idyllic world.
