I grew up on the South Side of Chicago, where resourcefulness was a way of life. We learned how to make something out of nothing, and that way of seeing has stayed with me.

​

My work is rooted in a simple belief: we already have everything we need.

​

In a world that constantly tells us to buy more and want more, I am drawn to what already exists. I work with recycled, found, and donated materials, transforming discarded fragments into mixed media art and wearable pieces.

​

My work is about transformation. It is about seeing differently. It is about recognizing beauty, value, and possibility in places others may overlook.

​

I create to remind people that what feels forgotten, broken, or discarded still has meaning.

​

Maybe that truth applies to us too.
