I am a New York-based printmaker and collage artist with a BFA in Printmaking from SUNY Purchase (2017). My work draws from natural history, ornament, and the body, assembling found imagery into dense compositions where organic forms erupt through a strict woven grid.

Fragments are gathered over time from sources such as nature magazines, seed catalogues, gem identification guides, thrifted books, textile samples, and digital museum archives. Stripped of their original scale and context, these materials lose their certainty — a cross section of coral, a gemstone, a cluster of fungi — unmoored from the microscopic and the cosmic, the anatomical and the landscape. The interlaced grid both constrains and activates these forms, producing images that read at once as pixel and textile, always hovering between scales.

For me, collage and the trans body share a common logic: both are palimpsests, marked by what came before, rewritten over time, sometimes concealing, sometimes refusing to conceal, and sometimes simply unable to conceal their history of assembly, traces of what came before making both richer than any final or complete image of the whole. These works remain visibly assembled — layered, overworked, and held together — with each fragment carrying traces of its prior context. Transformation is not treated as correction, but as ongoing self-assembly, where material history becomes a site of agency.
