My work explores relationships between humans, images, nature, artifacts, history, and lived experience. Meaning emerges through tension, resonance, and juxtaposition, much like quilting, an art form I learned as a child-  different parts come together to form something new.

   I use vivid color and themes of childhood to communicate complex ideas. Childhood opens a doorway to our shared humanity, as do the elderly, bringing heightened, almost scared awareness of time and life’s essence. Flowers- and the life force of their wild annual return- accentuate the fragility of this cycle, especially within a changing climate.

   Community and social practice have also been central to my work.  Co-creating and curating 24/7 spaces where Palestinians and Israelis could gather despite the separation wall. 

   My training spanned both the ancient classical figurative traditions of drawing and painting and the conceptual discourse of contemporary art. While my daily practice centers on painting and drawing, I also work with photography, digital collage, installation, video storytelling, and symbolic action. I often construct small worlds from found photographs, personal images, artifacts, flowers, and natural objects, then paint these environments directly from observation.

   My recent work invites the viewer to the liminal space of denail-  or "seeing not seeing", asking questions about  personal and collective trauma, about environmental fragility, and the possibility of hope.
