My work is predominantly on paper and made up of delicate ink filigree lines that I create by using the automatic drawing technique and complete with conscious thought. I love to experiment with papercutting, collage, and color, and I think this comes from my adoration of vintage books.

My work tends to intersect between art and craft with a focus on drawing. 
I enjoy using rough watercolor and Stonehenge papers.

The outcome of the lines can depend on how the archival inks 
interact with the texture of the paper, allowing it to tell its own story.

The lines have a connected relationship with one another and represent the structures of community and the parallels between people—the bonds we have between friends and family and the emotional dimensions that come with them.
