Letterpress and collage

Through my artwork, I aim to bring people together so that the lives of everyone around us are cultivating change towards a more positive future. My letterpress prints and mixed media work are inspired by nature and intentional living, and my aesthetic is minimal. I create small collage works that are wondrous microcosms—windows that open to the inside—as well as abstract landscapes and other compositions. Since 2022, I’ve integrated letterpress into my artistic practice. I’m particularly drawn to the hands-on and historic craft of letterpress and the tactile quality that connects the beholder directly with the artist’s own hand. Letterpress is my primary medium for my stationery brand, Open to Being, which fosters connection through artfully crafted words that honor, celebrate, and embrace life's journeys with joy, acceptance, and compassion.
