Photographer, stop motion artist, mixed media visual artist and a craftswoman whose work explores the relationships between color, memory, and play. Through the construction of props, miniature sets and graphic, color-driven compositions, she creates intimate worlds that hover between imagination and observation. 


 

The Latest explores the spectrum of this artist’s experience being a late diagnosed autistic woman and the evolving process of creating order and expression. There is deep ritual in being neurodivergent, in processing the happiness and grief of a life passed by and a future ahead and in accepting your unique traits, while releasing internal and external ableism.

 

TONES is an exploration of color in daily life, from what we eat, wear, listen to and how we move.

 

Chasing Clouds is a long exposure photographic exploration of Minnesota's giant roadside attractions, those larger-than-life icons that live in the collective memory of Minnesotans. Just as clouds move across the sk and the camera’s sensor, so too do memories, morphing and transforming within our consciousness.
