My Practice

The majority of the collages I sell and showcase within my local art scene are 12inchx12inch on paper using paper. These pieces primarily explore nature, spirituality, embodiment and the LGBTQIA+ experience. They are a celebration of interconnectedness, community and the beauty of queer expression.

My mixed media wax collages are called “Spell Collages” because they are each a magickal ritual I perform. I collage with the energy of the materials, environment, and planets and direct it towards community protection, healing, and liberation. I do not manipulate the wax with my hands, instead using words, herbs and intention to create each piece.

My mirror series that I am currently working on will be a collection of 48inchx48inch paper/mixed media collages on canvas that combine collage and witchcraft more directly. Each piece in the series intends to exorcise shame, fear and violence and reconnect the viewer to their body and heart.

My first piece in the series, “Eat Your Heart Out”, addresses ancestry, grief, and systemic violence. It began as an avenue for my own decolonial shadow work but has evolved into a larger conversation around our collective shadow under these systems. By gazing into the mirror of our individual and collective unconscious, we experience ourselves as a portal to the past, present and future. I hope this work helps to plant seeds of truth, revelation and healing in those that need it most. And so it is.
