What Is Art
To me, art is the place where identity, rebellion, beauty, and imagination all collide. I’ve never seen art as one thing — it’s graffiti on a moving train, a perfectly cut Westwood jacket, a Degas dancer caught in a moment of softness, or a Keith Haring figure bursting with energy and community. Westwood taught me that fashion can be punk, political, and impossibly alive; Degas showed me the beauty of gesture, femininity, and the way costume and movement tell a story; and Haring made me understand that art can live anywhere — on subway walls, in public spaces, and in the hearts of people who feel unseen. My own creativity grew from that mix: the elegance of classic art, the bold honesty of street art, and the expressive freedom of fashion. Art, for me, is how I process the world — a way to communicate when words fall short, a way to build connection, and a way to give others permission to explore who they are. That’s the vision I bring into my classroom every day: art as expression, art as activism, art as identity, and art as joy.

ARTIST STATEMENT
As an artist, I am drawn to the imaginative worlds we create when we allow ourselves to play, explore, and reconnect with our inner child. Much of my work centers on The Hissyfits and The Misfits—a collection of whimsical, soft-sculpture characters who blend childhood innocence with the expressive language of animals. Each creation embodies a distinct personality or emotional state—mischief, shyness, bravery, joy—represented through the unique bonnets they wear. These traits offer viewers a glimpse into inner identities and emotions we all carry, regardless of age.
The characters resonate deeply with children and young adults, but they also speak to adults who long for wonder, comfort, and imaginative connection. Through their dreamlike presence and relatable qualities, I invite viewers into a world that reflects both the challenges and the excitement of being human. My favorite moments as an artist are watching people’s eyes light up when they meet these characters for the first time—there is always a spark of nostalgia, recognition, or pure joy.
My creative process embraces the beauty of mistakes and the magic of wandering without a strict destination. I believe that allowing space for experimentation leads to unexpected discoveries—both in art-making and in ourselves.
Ultimately, my work encourages viewers to honor their quirks, celebrate their uniqueness, and reconnect with the playful parts of themselves. In their gentle way, The Hissyfits and The Misfits remind us that emotional expression, imagination, and individuality are not only allowed—they are essential.

As an artist, I invite you to step into a world of hands-on creativity where exploration and experimentation take center stage.
