Keeps Time

My debut full-length album, Keeps Time, is a collection of original songs about family, memory, inherited stories, grief, love, and the quiet courage it takes to begin again. Written during an extraordinary season of change, these songs became a way of giving voice to stories that painting and prose alone could not fully express.

The title track received Second Place in its category in the 2026 Talent Is Timeless International Songwriting Competition.

The Paintings

My paintings explore memory, identity, inheritance, and the ways our experiences become embedded in us. Working across paint, embroidery, stitching, and mixed media, I build surfaces that carry their own histories: layered, marked, repaired, and transformed.

The work often begins with something deeply personal, but I am interested in the place where an individual story becomes a shared one, where what has been lived can become something recognizable to someone else.

The Novels

Two novels in progress explore the ways our histories and relationships shape who we become, and what it takes to find ourselves again.

The Schooling asks how we are formed by the people, places, experiences, and expectations that teach us who we are supposed to be.

All the Days turns toward reclamation, following a woman across four years as memory, love, loss, and creativity gradually lead her back to herself.

Objects

Jewelry gives me another way to explore the patterns, layers, and relationships that run through all of my work. I am drawn to assembling individual elements and discovering how color, texture, repetition, and form can build upon one another until they become something entirely new.

Like writing or painting, the process is one of composition: finding structure within disparate pieces and allowing each element to become part of a larger whole. The result is something both sculptural and intimate, an object of art made to be worn and carried into everyday life.
