Artist and Educator
My practice engages directly with the environment through printmaking, sculpture, and photography. I collect discarded/ found objects and natural materials, grounding the work in lived contexts and tracing the stories they hold about our relationship with nature. These fragments also point to wider global issues—climate change, conflict, overconsumption, and waste—showing how ecological and political struggles overlap. By reworking what is left behind, I aim to question systems of value and open space for reflection on how we live with each other and the natural world.

I create work that reflects change, protest, and healing. It’s how I process, connect, and take part in what’s happening around me.
