About

My work explores the materiality of house paint through process, form, and collaboration. I’m interested in testing its capabilities when pushed beyond its initial, marketed intentions of covering, protecting, and elevating spaces while displaying it with its inherent qualities. Though the material was fabricated to partner with a supportive substrate, it’s able to exist entirely on its own. I create situations to challenge just how independent the paint can be while allowing agency and the opportunity to fail or prevail. Process is considered by formulating new applications for the material and through the experiential and relational time spent working with, wrestling with, succeeding with, failing with, and accepting with the paint.

I am currently a MFA Student in Visual Art and a Museum Studies Certificate Recipient at the University of Kansas.
