TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR WORK THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT EXPECT?
I primarily paint with my hands and use very few tools in my process. So much of my work is about the tactile experience and action of painting and I enjoy attacking the canvas with my hands.

WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
I find inspiration in a variety of sources, but primarily in color and motherhood, specifically the parts of motherhood that feel feral and untamed. Watching the way my children create with such freedom, courage, and audacity inspires me to push the boundaries of my own expression and to find a similar sense of audaciousness. Color plays an important role in the way I push my own boundaries; I challenge myself by choosing color palettes that feel exciting, playful, or unexpected.
