Drawing inspiration from Las Vegas, my home, I am interested in creating scenes of reverence and devotion. My work navigates the human inclination for spectacle over meaning, examining the commanding presence of places, experiences, and objects. I delve into the language of light, color, architecture, and their connection to power structures. I draw inspiration from my initial sensory encounters with the Catholic church and the neon-soaked expanse of the Las Vegas desert. A characteristic of my practice lies in my recontextualization and abstraction of words, a deliberate injection of instability into language. This creates situations that push the boundaries of our linguistic activity, probing the nuances of communication, challenging preconceptions, and inviting viewers into a realm of constant reevaluation. By interweaving personal memories with collective cultural experiences, I construct narratives that meld the intimate with the communal, offering a nuanced exploration of the American experience. These explorations span media, including photography, painting, installation, sculpture, and fiber arts. I received my BFA in Studio Art from the University of Las Vegas, Nevada, and a Master of Fine Arts in Art Practice from Stanford University. I've shown in museums and galleries throughout the United States, including the Nevada Museum of Art (Reno, NV), Barrick Museum of Art (Las Vegas, NV), NMSU Art Museum (Las Cruces, NM), SOMArts (San Francisco, CA), and Gallery 400 (Chicago, IL.)
