I am an artist...

…curator, studio manager, instructor, and designer who has called Memphis home for over twenty years. I've been creating things with my hands all of my life and began working with wire in 2010. Wire sculpture gives me a way to express myself that truly feels like mine. I often incorporate fabric, rust and embroidery into my sculptures and for the past few years, no matter how hard I try to stop, the work has reflected my relationship with my mother and her constant demand for beauty. I enjoy exploring the tension between trauma and beauty.
