People often come to learn about the surrounding world through separating out and analyzing one entity. Through this process, people form distinct concepts such as the interior and exterior, the gallery and the natural environment. How do we come to understand these ideas as related instead of opposed to one another? My artwork explores the connection between interior and exterior by creating a space that allows insight into their intersection.
My practice is rooted in my immediate surroundings – a walk down the sidewalk, the weed fighting to grow out of the cracks, the whitewall of a studio, or the empty foundation in a vacant lot. With my works on paper and installation, I play with layers to subvert the expectations of certain types of spaces. I use an existing structure, such as a gallery wall or piece of paper, in conjunction with found, cut, and painted materials. I physically connect these materials by glueing, cutting, and patching to make a moment that references the intersection of the constructed and natural environment. Although these concepts are thought of as distinct from each other, I aim to create a place where these elements can be experienced as unified.

I’m a designer, illustrator, comic book geek, self-proclaimed cat lady and Miami native.
By day (and night), I’m a Senior Art Director at the Leo Burnett Group and the Lead Designer for two startups: The Bubble Music Festival in Madison, WI and Snorf Industries, a dog apparel company.
I’m inspired by ideas, art and design that tells great stories and creates smart, beautiful solutions to solve even the smallest problems in people’s lives. I have always loved design and illustration equally, and I try to blend both in my work as much as possible.
If you’d like to know a little bit more about me, here are some quick facts! As a Miami expat, it’s my personal quest to find the best Cuban food across the country. (If you’re interested in my findings, just let me know. I’m more than happy to share.) Abe Lincoln is my favorite president.
If we’re talking comics, Marvel beats DC any day of the week.
So, if you’re interested in saying hi, grabbing coffee, discussing the meaning of life, or even swapping opinions on your favorite Internet-famous cat, I’d love to hear from you.
