Meet the Working Hands

I am a mixed media artist with a Bachelor’s in Art and Design from Towson University. Based in Baltimore, MD, I live with my partner and our two cats.

My recent mixed-media dimensional paintings draw attention to gendered economic inequality—specifically feminist issues such as the Pink Tax, the Tampon Tax, the Wage Gap, and the Free Time Gap. By incorporating surprising and symbolically loaded materials into my work, I encourage people to critically analyze these persistent issues and ask how they can be better.

Using mediums like crochet, found objects, paint, and printmaking, I express the disparities and frustrations that women and femme-presenting people deal with regularly. I integrate makeup, perfumes, and jewelry into my art, referencing products deemed as necessities and as patriarchal tools for economic exploitation. I use crochet as a structural and decorative component and as a reference to labor-intensive processes historically centered around women.

My products and services are all focused on sustainability and the appreciation of handmade, practical objects for everyday use. My goals are to minimize textile waste and reignite value within our clothes. Growing up, I was taught to repair holes or tears, because why throw something out that is still mostly functional and dearly loved? Clothes both express who you are and protect you, and I’m dedicated to offering unique, stylish repairs that bring new life to every damaged garment.
