My work explores chronic illness, caregiving, and the emotional weight of medical systems through mixed media installation, painting, and sculpture. I merge classical techniques of oil painting and figure sculpture with found medical and domestic materials-hospital bracelets, gloves, toys-to create layered, narrative-driven works. Rooted in personal experience, the pieces blur boundaries between art, craft, and documentation. I'm interested in how objects carry memory and meaning, and can reflect the realities of caretaking, motherhood, childhood illness, invisible illness, and isolation.
