about me.

My practice is rooted in a lived, attentive faith and shaped by the long interior experience of mothering, particularly the ongoing relationship of caring for my now-adult, brain-injured child. These realities form the ground from which the work emerges.

Working primarily on paper and small wooden panels, I use oil and mixed media to create quiet, contemplative images. I am drawn to thresholds; spaces where matter, meaning, and spirit meet and remain unresolved.

The work often circles around the relationship between mother and child, though rarely in direct depiction. Instead, it seeks to hold a sense of encounter, of being with, where care, attention, and vulnerability become visible. There is both stillness and tension within the process: a continual searching for depth that remains just beyond reach, yet continues to call me forward.

The rhythms that sustain my practice are quiet ones: reading, music, walking, prayer, and silence. These are not separate from the work but integral to it, forming an interior landscape from which the images arise. Each painting develops slowly, through layers, revision, and a kind of sustained attentiveness.

I am not interested in resolution so much as presence. The paintings attempt to attend, to witness, and to hold open a space where something sacred might quietly disclose itself.
