Atlanta, GA
My work is about my life, my memories, and the repercussions of the past as seen in the present and future. Being an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse, my work expresses ideas of secrets, and perception. My abuse was followed by 28 years of silence. That silence only broken when my sister was brave enough to speak out about her own experience. I incorporate commonplace materials and simple technologies to create installations and sculptures that reference my life and the people around me. I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in furniture design in 2002. After a brief stint in Greenville, SC, I moved to Atlanta where I worked for 13 years as a photo stylist and photo art director for several advertising agencies before deciding to go back to school in the fall of 2014 to pursue my MFA in Sculpture at Georgia State University.
