Exploring how light, color, movement and sound affect us

I’m a mixed media sculptor and installation artist creating immersive environments shaped by light, movement, color, and sound. Working with hand-formed aluminum mesh, natural materials, and projection, I make spaces that invite people to slow down, notice, and connect with their surroundings.

My background as a naturalist and educator continue to influence my focus on observation and sensory experience. My work has been shown at the Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle Center, Occidental Square, Museum of Northwest Art, and Smoke Farm’s Lo-Fi Festival, and most recently over several different projects while at a residency at The Georgetown Steamplant.

I’m especially committed to bringing art into everyday spaces—hospitals, schools, and community environments—where a moment of calm, wonder, or curiosity can have real impact.
