I am interested in the use of art as a therapeutic tool and often examine themes relating to mental health and self-image in my drawings. Drawing is an important part of my practice, and my work is informed by instinctual, small-scale scribbles and rough sketches that accumulate over time throughout my living space. I use metaphors to communicate thoughts and feelings that can be difficult to articulate; these metaphors often allow surprising relationships between objects and figures to emerge.

A central figure often interacts with objects or fish to process the challenges encountered in daily life. These challenges frequently revolve around communication differences, the struggle to define a sense of self, and feelings of being out of place. My drawings playfully invite the viewer to consider the relationships that are formed between these figures and objects while simultaneously acting as a container for difficult emotions.
