my practice as a painter primarily focuses on an evolving search for the significance of the queer body within nature-- in relation to the earth and the sublime. all of my work within or outside of that context frequently occurs through overlapping lenses of queerness, ex-catholicism, and ecology.

these themes that i most often work within are so often positioned in contrast with each other, as if they are mutually exclusive. i strive to find and create the subjects and spaces where these themes are in unity with each other, always asking myself: where are the non-human queer bodies around me, and what do we share?
