Biography

I use painting and drawing to explore the world view of living with a chronic illness since childhood. The work I make tries to communicate both the aching solitude of living with illness and the beauty of a life spent frequently in isolation and recovery, outside the cycles of routines and schedules with time for introspection and invention.
