Our Bodies
Drawing has always been at the core of my work—even within my media-based film and video practice. Through the medium of drawing and gouache painting, I re-imagine elements of the visceral body. Disembodied abstractions dissolve into landscapes of memory, nostalgia, truths and false truths–of body, mind and spirit. My collection of ephemeral works balances the […]
Drawing + Sketches
From my undergraduate degree to my masters, I have been studying the history of medicine, specifically medical illustration and dissection as part of my visual arts practice.

The Blue of Distance
In the fall of 2011, I was an artist-in-residence for 5-weeks in Orissa, India at Rughurajpur International Arts & Crafts Exchange.

Three Meditations: Findings
