about
I have always been an artist. While my background is in more traditional art forms such as drawing and painting, I also utilize mixed media, photography, collage, and graphic design to tell my stories. As a neuroscience and visual arts graduate of Duke University, I don’t view these fields as mutually exclusive. Instead, I live and thrive at their intersection. I have found that the arts and health can overlap in meaningful ways, from designing collaborative murals with patients, teaching photography to a young patient with cancer, or leading art gallery tours for adults with dementia.
I aim to impact the larger community through my artwork, as visual forms have the power to depict abstract issues in a tangible way, starting the conversation and changing culture. I am interested in using the arts to raise awareness about health conditions and fight stigma, creating detailed artwork with embedded layers of meaning. I often work with people living with illness or disability and capture personal experiences. In the future, I aspire to become a leader in the medical humanities, researching how the arts can improve patient experiences and outcomes.
