I've been conceiving of my visual art practice as embodied and process-oriented following artists like Shozo Shimamoto and Helen Frankenthaler, and others working with performers like Robert Rauchenberg and Merce Cunningham, which all tend to favour an experiential process over a final product. I went from focusing on drawing, painting, and sculpture, to exploring a range of media, often in an interdisciplinary way, collaborating and interacting with members of communities, writers, artists and performers in dance and theatre and back to drawing, painting and animation. I see the creative act as a primal way to commune and connect, both with people and the more than human, which is capable of broadening a sense of acceptance, appreciation and curiosity for the innate intricacies and interconnectedness of life. I am interested in how feeling connected in an emotional and physical way, has implications on our well being, to transform experiences, heal, negotiate through conflict or difference and feel more integrated.

Informed by ecology, neuroarts, creative arts and other therapies, women and feminist artists ranging from abstract to figurative,  and others paving the way for marginalized genres and hybrid forms, I make to create a sense of fluidity, challenge and peace within myself and in relation to others. I play, curious like a child, but also plan and adjust and ground this artistic play through introspection, research and feedback. A creative act such as making a drawing communicates and translates delicate aspects of life, inside and out.  The process reveals, remains open, stimulates feelings and is amplified experientially to generate connections and unsettle stagnations.
