She completed her undergraduate studies at St. Johns College in New Mexico, where she studied classical literature, philosophy and the history of math and science.

‘My work is made as an attempt to find the core feeling of things. I have an instinct that the way something makes us feel is contained within that thing— that emotion is contained in the other and released upon recognition. My work is the culmination of pulling those hidden emotions out of my subject— whether it is a flower drooping in the sun or a smile appearing on a face.’
