My work focuses on stillness. As someone who has struggled with an anxiety disorder most of my life, I'm always in search of healthy ways to quiet the "mental chatter", and I've found that creating spaces that evoke a sense of quiet helps to accomplish that. Ink has always been my go-to medium. I tend to be a perfectionist, especially when it comes to my artwork, and the permanence of ink forces me to relinquish some of that control and learn how embrace the imperfections. I find it very therapeutic.
