My art explores themes of grief, loss, healing, initiation, ancestral connection, death, and rebirth.

My creative practice is also a spiritual practice. I craft spirit dolls and talismans that can help facilitate personal and ancestral lineage healing, honor thresholds, and serve as illumination for underworld journeys. (You can read more about my journey to dollmaking here.)

As an intuitive artist, I navigate the seen and unseen realms. I create in order to understand my own experience - to release fear and shame, to make space for grief, and to embrace joy in all its forms.

I create in order to heal.

I’m continually drawn to questions of identity and this is reflected in my work. I consider both how we self-identify (and why) and how we are often perceived - and subsequently mis-identified - by others. I recognize the role that colonization plays in personal and cultural identity loss and create pathways for reconnection by crafting tangible objects with spiritual, ancestral, and cultural significance.

My art is interactive, meant to be held - both in hands and spirit. Each doll and talisman serves as a reminder and a compass, guiding me further along the path of self-discovery. They are my companions on this journey - vessels to hold the intentions and medicines that will support me as I dive deep into the well of remembering.
