I am an interdisciplinary artist from Southeast Texas who examines how language, images, and systems of communication shape human behavior and influence the way we understand the world. Drawing from U.S. history, propaganda, politics, and everyday culture, I am interested in the messages that become so familiar we stop questioning them.
My concept-driven practice spans photography, video, sound, sculpture, text, and performance, allowing each project to determine its own form. Language often serves as both my subject and my material, and moving between disciplines helps me explore how different materials carry their own associations and can shift the meaning of an idea. I frequently appropriate and recontextualize elements from everyday life, placing familiar things in unexpected contexts to encourage new ways of seeing.
I bring a strong educational background to my artistic practice, having earned a BFA in studio art with minors in art history and dance from Lamar University along with an MFA in photography and digital media from the University of Houston. In recognition of my artistic endeavors, I was honored to receive a SACI and Let Creativity Happen Grant from the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance in 2025 and The Idea Fund and City Initiative Grant in 2021.
Notably, my art is on permanent exhibition at the George R. Brown Convention Center through Houston’s public art collection. I actively exhibit my work nationally and internationally with recent exhibitions at venues such as the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England, Brownsville Museum of Fine Art in Brownsville, TX, Aggregate Space Gallery in Oakland, CA, Amos Eno Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, and CICA Museum in South Korea.
