My work is rooted in care, survival, and the resilience of women. I was raised by colossal Texas women. Their strength was unwavering, grounded in care for themselves and each other, and in a refusal to ever back down. Their persistence became a map for me, something to hold onto as I came into adulthood and began living with illness and disability. I grew up knowing that survival was possible because I had seen it every day.

I approach my practice through an interdisciplinary lens, working across fibers, printmaking, and sculpture. Craft is central, passed down through generations of women in my family. These inherited ways of making, learned by watching and doing, feel like an intuitive language. Working this way connects me to a lineage of makers. It is both an act of remembrance and belonging.

I use worn fabrics and loose threads to speak to survival. I’m interested in how materials carry memory, how they show what they’ve been through: labor, care, repair, and lineage.
Through an intersectionally feminist lens, I explore the emotional, physical, and political dimensions of care. I work from the position of both caregiver and care receiver. I believe in the transformative power of care, not just as a way of being, but as defiance. My work is shaped by lived experience with illness, drawing on narratives of vulnerability and resilience to connect to a broader narrative.
