ARTIST STATEMENT

I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue a career in my passion. It is a privilege to love what you do. Finding preservation design opened my eyes to an undying love for creating spaces that provide harmony between the past and the present as well as an individual and their environment. I found my love for furniture in a similar way. To me, art has always been about those who consume it. I love the personal relationship that people create with pieces that they can interact with and create memories around. The spaces we spend our time in make a statement about who we are and have an incredible impact on our energy that we emit into the world around us. With my work, I like to focus on creating an internal balance within the consumer between comfort and productivity that mirrors that to which I seek within myself between my anxiety and ADHD. These two aspects of myself have at times been a roadblock to my work in the past, but have more recently become responsible for my best work.
