About the Artist
I was raised in San Antonio and relocated to Austin in 2014 to pursue my BFA at the University of Texas at Austin. I have been practicing sculpture since that time while actively working to improve my skills in mold making and casting. I currently reside in the east side working out of my home studio.
Artist Statement
Most recently my work has dealt with ritual, effigy, and objects of safety.
In a time of collective anxiety, my curiosity has led me to question how we interact with objects we feel are imbued with power while seeking control and comfort.
The Austin Studio Tour is a program of Big Medium.
