Welcome to my website.
I am currently tending to a newly diagnosed chronic illness (autonomic nervous system dysfunction & POTS), onset by COVID and following illnesses’ impact on my immune system. I am working on finding treatment, moving slowly and mindfully, and finding new ways to understand my body as it shifts and requires more nuanced care. It is difficult, I am learning. I don’t know yet how to speak to it in relation to my artistic practice yet, but I am learning, trying, failing, trying again.
I am open to projects and creative work, but my physical capacity is limited. Please reach out if you’d like to work together. And take care of yourself and those around you.
I write about my experience on Substack. You can read it by clicking here.
