โI love paper for itโs simplicity and versatility. You can do so much with so little!โ

Artist Statement
My practice is driven by an interest in slow making processes and their meditative qualities. Influenced by flora and fauna, my cyanotypes and papercuts invite viewers to take a closer look at both the artwork and their own natural surroundings. Meticulously cut by hand, my intricate paper artworks create a space for reflection and contemplation. I am drawn to patterns and their symbolic meanings, often relating across cultures and communities, and like to explore the way repetition can form emphasis and meaning.
