💜SHE/THEY 💜
Born and raised in Austin, Texas. She received her BFA in Painting from The Pratt Institute in 2014 in Brooklyn, New York, which is where she currently works and lives. In 2014 she co-founded an independent publishing project called TXTBooks with 4 friends, specializing in Risograph printing. She helps manage production with TXTBooks and is a freelance illustrator working with clients such as The NYT, Rhizome, The Baffler, and Bloomberg Businessweek.
Currently her practice explores projected and internalized fantasies onto the feminine identity, body, spirit and mind. In particular, fantasies that blossom desires of violence, power, pain, isolation, longing, beauty, hierarchy & dominance.
Executed through interdisciplinary techniques such as painting, ceramic & bookmaking, she builds her own characters and worlds that reflect the conflicted relationship between empowerment and degradation within fantastical feminine representations. She has selected artist book's held at the Whitney Museum, RISD, Yale, and SAIC Library, as well as the New York Public Library.
She has had her works shown at spaces such as Miriam Gallery, Dateline Gallery, Printed Matter, Lubov Gallery, Enorme, Juicebox Projects and EFA Robert Blackburn.
