About the Exhibit
"Resetting The Pace" invites viewers to explore the complexities of domestic life, consumption habits, and the pursuit of an elastic mind through a blend of painting, digital art, and mixed media installation.
At its core, the exhibition features large-scale paintings that act as tools for world-building. These maximalist ecosystems reference both expansive natural landscapes and intimate spaces like patios and backyards.
Each piece serves as a meditation on anxiety and abundance, celebrating the wonder of everyday life. They transform feelings of stagnation and overwhelm into reflections on friendship and mentorship, while playfully engaging with unfinished projects and the clutter of consumption.
This exhibition vividly examines how our ambitions often outpace our resources, highlighting the joys and challenges of motherhood, the beauty in ordinary moments, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries.

“My interests live in exploration of absurd and messy human narratives. I often probe the relationships a space may facilitate and comb the expectations of the individual in society. I want to create an opportunity to live among objects and within compositions that take
shape in a poorly rendered, unbalanced world by way of painting, sculpture and installation.
Materials hard and soft give way to transparent billowy layers, obsessive mark making and object manipulation. My paintings tend to be complex records of memory, anxiety and wish. Much of my sculptural and installation works are transitional. In addition to metalworks, I
source mostly recycled materials and refuse to construct over-engineered chattels and place held to the trappings of time. I recently started fabricating works from bioplastics. A storyline will always drive the nature of my work, however, it is my intention to leave doors open and questions unanswered for the viewer.”
