Right now, my work grows out of my experience of living with chronic physical illness, disability, and complex mental health. Through drawing, writing, and textile-based processes, I keep returning to a few simple questions: How can I find a gentler way to make art? How can I document this experience, and share it?

These questions remind me to slow down and pay attention. Like many people, I feel the pull of productivity, perfectionism, and self-criticism. This practice is my way of learning something different, and I share that learning in the hope that someone else might feel a little less alone—or discover a gentler way of making.
