Artist Statement: My fascination with the beauty of design in nature serves as motivation; from the patterns in sacred geometry conversing with the gentle spiral of the golden ratio. The introspection of my own world fuels the creation of these intricate seed structures infused with life and nature. Falling deep into the process of creating and my own experience, my "Infused" series became my interpretation of seed pods as a protective space. These protective structures allow one to be visible but protected. Mother nature protects each little seed until it is ready to grow. There is a period of dormancy where they plant will wait and then when the conditions are right, it will germinate and grow into a new plant or flower. Similar to how one may grow when they are in the right place, in the right time.

She received her Bachelors in Art Education & Fine Arts 3D/Metals from Massachusetts College of Art & Design in 2008 and has been teaching ever since.
