About

I am a sculptor working primarily with cast metal—iron, bronze, and aluminum. My practice examines how bodily and structural systems endure when damage is permanent: how form adapts, reorganizes, and continues to function under sustained stress.

Materials are chosen for their behavior rather than their symbolism. Through casting, binding, suspension, and segmentation, forms are treated as systems under load. They sag, tighten, bulge, and resist. Failure is not hidden. It is held in place, allowed to remain visible as evidence of strain.

The work does not frame resilience as strength without pain. Instead, it operates from the position that endurance is not the absence of pain, but the ability to remain functional within it. My sculptures hold tension, redistribute weight, and refuse collapse—not because they are ideal, but because they adapt.

I am currently pursuing an MFA in Sculpture at the University of Dallas and hold a BFA in Art and Technology from the University of Oklahoma. My work ranges from intimate objects to public installations and is intended to be encountered physically—through proximity, scale, and weight—as records of persistence rather than symbols of triumph.
