I make paintings that explore identity, community, and experience through aesthetics. My work considers collective queer experience and memory, and how thoughtfully composed visual environments can speak to shared experience and lived phenomena across space and time. Drawing inspiration from my own home, the homes of my community, and archival materials, I construct quiet domestic scenes characterized by careful order, a consistent visual language, and an absence of people. These interiors are built with an eye towards lesbian and queer signifiers, that speak to both personal and collective experience.

Today, my practice is informed by research into 1970s and 1980s lesbian separatist communities, including archival photographs, interviews, and independent commune publications. In some works, I directly incorporate visual elements from these materials—patterns, objects, and accessories—while in others they shape the atmosphere and compositional logic of the paintings. Across these historical sources, I am continually struck by a sense of recognition: the aesthetics of past queer communities resonate deeply with those of my own community today.

These spaces function as both personal and symbolic sites where memory, identity, and community intersect. Formally, my paintings emphasize flatness and saturated color. Using patterned wallpaper and a defined palette, I construct interiors that blur the boundary between lived space and curated scene. Through this work, I consider how visual language operates across time and space—allowing aesthetics to become a means of continuity, belonging, and connection between queer communities across generations.
