April 2026- Solo Show at Jules Maes Saloon
April 11th, 2026 was my first solo show which featured my photo series "Interwoven" and my recent super 8 film "Common Threads".
"Interwoven" is a multi-layered photo series that consists of spiders and the female body as I feel spiders are meaningful symbols of beauty, resilience, and strength. Like women, spiders play an important role in our lives. They are fierce mothers, creative weavers, and resilient to many changes.
This project symbolizes a complex social structure that compares and contrasts the human world and the arachnid world. Female spiders are dominant, bigger than males, strong hunters, and live in solitary. By combining human and arachnid imagery, the project invites viewers to reconsider the female body not only as an expression of identity and beauty but also as an integral part of nature’s resilience.

“Common Threads” is a feminist Super 8 film that blends craft, experimental cinema, and performance art. Using gender, labor, and movement through the city, the film explores the complexities of language, society, and the patriarchal systems that shape women’s experiences in different spaces. Dragging fragments of sewn words through public streets becomes a quiet act of protest, embodying resistance within the everyday.

July 2025- I spent one week living out of my Subaru Outback at the Mount St. Helen's Institute for my first artist in residency! I hiked many miles each day (sometimes for 4+ hours), taking photos with my 35mm camera and searching for the coveted mountain goats. While I didn't see any goats, I did try wild strawberries for the first time, met some really amazing people working or volunteering at the institute, and saw many Ravens in the early mornings. The photos above are a result of me experimenting by soaking my film rolls in debris, lake water, and volcano sediment/rocks that I collected from the environment during my residency. This special place will always remain with me and has inspired me to make it my mission to visit as many volcanoes as possible and speak about these unique landscapes.
June 2025- Artist residency at Mount St. Helen's Institute
This past weekend I previewed my AIR site. This month I have the honor of being an artist in residence at Mount St. Helen's Institute. I look forward to learning more about the history, the people, and landscape. I'll be experimenting with different avant-garde photography techniques and hope to create some really cool shots! *Artwork coming soon*

April 2025- Getting ready for film soup summer!
This past April I flew back home to New England after living on the west coast for the last two years. I spent time in NH (my home state), Vermont (let's go Phish!), and Boston (love of my life). I then made the decision to do more film souping this year. I decided to film soup my shots from New England due to the unpredictability of film souping and the unpredictability of the area's harsh weather and landscape. I used various native plants, cranberry juice, and maple syrup from Vermont to soup my film. Results above!
Film souping: process where you shoot a roll of color film, dip the roll in a mixture of various things, dry it, develop it. This process essentially "destroys" some of the photo while creating abstract and psychedelic looking effects.
