Her practice is rooted in meditations on the creative process, where anxiety, repetition, and mark-making become ways of recording time. Beginning with drawing, she embraces its intimacy and immediacy, allowing transient thoughts to evolve into reflections of psychological and emotional states. Engaging with ideas of perception, consciousness, and artistic intent, her ongoing paintings expand into text, diagrams, and even meme-making, opening playful and layered extensions of practice.
