Statement:

My work is about difference perception people have over similar or shared experience, terms, and thus meanings. 

Inspired by the intellectual tapestry woven by the Picture's movement, I summons the archetypal forces inherent within found imagery, that reverberate from the collective unconscious. The final works are hand-painted edited versions of her collage studies and sketches. 

Many of the titles draw upon Psychiatric terminology and Diagnostic criteria from the commonly Diagnostic and Statistical manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition (DSM-5). aka “psychiatry bible”
