What do we create in the space pain occupies? How do we utilize pain as a process through which to translate our inner stories?

I became interested in using pain as a creative process the more I became trapped in my own body due to a series of neurological and muscular skeletal disorders including fibromyalgia. It became a motif played out across various mediums allowing it to move through me and become transformed into something new.

I’m a process artist whose interested in the ways in which the body creates narratives of healing using a combination of photography, writing, photo weaving, and fiber installations to understand the space pain resides. I received my BFA from Denison University and MFA from Columbus College of Art and Design. Originally from the Catskill Mountains in New York, I currently reside in Columbus, Ohio with my dog Riley.
