I use words to create form.
I create artwork that can be read—stories, histories, and ideas woven together to become images. A piece might be the word “home” translated into 175 languages, a family’s story, a company’s values, the history of a city or landmark, or anything a client imagines. Those words become skylines, birds, bees, houses, stadiums, logos, or symbols of shared meaning.
I also design participatory works where individuals contribute their own words or signatures, which together form a unified image—art that quite literally represents community.
My work lives in public spaces including Houston Intercontinental Airport, the Woodlands Waterway, Google Cloud’s Buffalo Heights lobby, St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, and HPD’s Mounted Patrol headquarters, and has been used to help hospital staff process collective experiences through community art.
I’m honored to collaborate with clients to bring their stories to life with precision, care, and joy. Art exists to enhance life.
