I am a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, painting, and mixed media installation. My practice examines neurodivergent cognition and the educational systems designed to measure and regulate how people think and learn.
In the United States, an estimated 50% of people ages 14–29 identify as neurodiverse, including minds labeled ADHD, dyslexic, autistic, bipolar (Forbes, 2025). Historically, these labels have often functioned to diagnose and separate rather than recognize different cognitive styles.
Drawing from personal experiences with autism, schizophrenia in my family, my work questions what is lost when institutions reward conformity over curiosity.
Through tangled aluminum wire sculptures, fluorescent abstract paintings, and installations such as Do Not Write on Desk, I transform classroom materials and visual metaphors of cognition into sculptural forms. By inviting chance, error, and material unpredictability, my work challenges the idea that intelligence must follow prescribed lines and invites interaction to build community with a shared experience.
