My work explores the mythology of the American West through a personal and feminine lens. Grounded in drawing and expressed through painting and ceramics, I reimagine archetypes of women, animals, and landscape that have historically defined Western iconography. Horses, wildflowers, devotional figures, and domestic artifacts recur—not as decorative elements, but as central, living protagonists in a shifting folklore.

The paintings emphasize flattened space, ornamental detail, and intuitive color. The surfaces often evoke illuminated manuscripts or devotional panels, balancing intricate linework with expressive gestures and symbolic arrangements. While I reference art historical periods like the High Renaissance and Rococo, these influences are filtered through personal narrative and emotional memory, shaped by my matriarchal upbringing and my current existence in Montana.

Through this work, I examine how beauty, labor, and power entwine and what it means to exist within a mythologized landscape while also rewriting its script. Each piece acts as a quiet intervention: tender, surreal, and richly encoded, inviting viewers to reflect on the stories we preserve, inherit, and re-author through feminine presence and hand.
