Impact:
"My artwork addresses the lived experience, often taking a figurative and narrative approach. I use visual art to explore personal issues: women’s roles, authoritarianism, family, ideological and societal influence on the individual, relationships with nature, the body. I value art as both a tool of resistance and education against oppression, as well as a deeply meaningful expression of human experience. I travel widely to conduct visual research, and read across disciplines including philosophy, literature, history and science. I am interested in the democratizing power of art in public spaces, and have an active public art practice. I deeply appreciate materials and process and seek to create in the medium best suited to express the conceptual core of a project. I am interested in representations of nature and the spirit world in folk traditions and related visual narratives and have undertaken research travel to meet and study with indigenous and traditionally underrepresented artists and craftspeople in Australia, Indonesia, Japan, China, Finland, Romania, Mexico, Turkey, Hawai’i and across the United States."
