I am a painter and printmaker working in Durham, North Carolina. My work explores the tension between constriction and freedom I experience in the contexts of my identity, mental health, and surrounding political conditions. My work has been shown locally at VAE Raleigh, Artspace Raleigh, ArtsCenter Carrboro, the Durham Arts Council, the Rubenstein Arts Center at Duke, the Carrack Modern Art, and Golden Belt Studios in Durham. I founded and run Ample Art, a storage unit converted to a gallery, in Durham. I teach screen printing workshops at Super G Print Lab. My work is available for purchase at PEEL Gallery in Carrboro and Ample Art.
I hold a PhD in History from Duke University and a BA in Women’s Studies from the University of California, Irvine. I studied fine art for two years at Art Center College of Design, in Pasadena, California.
