My artwork contrasts realistic and abstract representations of the body alongside objects and symbols which explore animism and contain distinct psyche. I represent the translucency of skin by  physically creating this integument within the work through the process of multiple layers of color-pencil. Similarly the plasticity of encaustic allows me to comb and massage sheens and shapes over my pencil and gouache work, forming symbolic musculoskeletal systems and unique isolated objects. 

These collected elements create metaphors for my experience of womanhood, motherhood, love, loss, self-preservation, panic, desire, and knowing. This work is diaristic, featuring self-portraiture, my partner and child. I use orientation dissonance–the inversion of the figure–to symbolize circumspection, surrender, gestation, and metamorphosis. I render hands frequently, they represent intention and action. I also paint the mouth, tongue, and teeth as gateways between the inner self and outer world. Through taste and touch, I experience intimacy and desire. This anatomy creates boundaries while also being an entry point. Through my work I invite you to experience this same push pull of entering and observing from a distance.
