Collage work (2024):
The collage pieces are made quite intuitively. As an art teacher I get tons of magazines donated to me over the course of the year. Each magazine is the result of many brilliant marketing campaigns and the use of words are very specific and deliberate. In using the words, of which carry so much meaning and randomly choosing them to make messages can itself be considered a meditative practice. The "poems" created speak to one's subconscious and communicate a deep meaning to each person differently. Because of the power of words and the varied meaning behind each word, each poem means different things to different people.

Trashy Landscapes (2022-2023):
This series explores the relationship between self and nature. Over the years, my relationship with my body has evolved through my experience as an endurance trail hiker. The more I dive into this relationship with nature the more I experience its positive and healing effects on my body, my mind and my spirit. Currently, I am working on two series. The series labeled “Trashy Landscapes" juxtaposes items you might find in a landfill with the idea of dreamy landscapes. I utilize everyday single-use items, and assorted recycled materials to recreate dreamy landscapes. In a world of single-use items, how is the idea of worthiness redefined? Can something be truly of value if its purpose only lasts seconds?

Grounded Series (2020-2022) :
This series asigns deep wisdom to all natural phenomena. The series aims and hopes to create a simplified set of images that can be understood by all on a deeper soul level. The work investigates Universal wisdom around self-value, family, love, sacrifice, our search for a life purpose and inner wisdom.
Nature has always been a source of endless fascination since I was a child. I enjoy exploring its many manifestations. Despite the themes being tackled, The act of art-making itself is regarded as a meditative, healing and necessary practice by which I can weave my next big dreams and by which I can use to help me discover a deeper sense of connection to the Universe and myself.

Jewelry Work (2024 and ongoing/once a year):
Most one-of-a-kind jewelry piece are handmade works with pieces collected by the artist. Each season with a different focus, some nature, some color combinations that are reminiscent of space, meadows or the sky. The necklace pieces are all inspired by the peacefulness of an empty beach in winter and the centerpieces were collected by the artist during her solo hikes in Jones Beach in the winter of 2023 and 2024.
