Artist Statement

My work is about expression and representation. As a plus-size woman, I am often frustrated by the lack of exciting fashion options in my size, so many designs feel like an afterthought. I create because I want to see bold, rebellious, and innovative fashion that represents me. As a textile designer and fiber artist, I aim to carve out a space for people like myself who refuse to settle for uninspired plus-size clothing. I challenge fashion norms by designing textiles and garments that are unapologetically unique, expressive, and full of life.

I work with loud, bold color, free-motion embroidery, repeat pattern design, and quilting to craft abstract and maximalist clothing and art. My influences stem from 20th-century art movements such as Russian Constructivism, Pop Art, and Op Art, drawing inspiration from artists like Lyubov Popova and Bridget Riley. I am also fascinated by the work of astrophysicist Carl Sagan and mathematician Akiyoshi Kitaoka, particularly their connections to chaos theory—the concept that patterns emerge from chaos and, in turn, chaos gives birth to new patterns.

This theme of chaos is at the core of my work, both in my repeat designs for streetwear and my quilted wall art. Through bright, bold motifs and non-representational forms, I inject energy and vibrancy into fashion and interiors, creating space for individuals who want to reflect their personality and defy expectations.
