If it qualifies for a tax break, a heart break, or a mental break, it may be a part of my work. As a trans person navigating life with invisible disabilities, my journey has been defined by resilience, empathy, and a commitment to amplify the voices of marginalized groups. I explore diverse perspectives, focusing on contemporary experiences of queer and disabled individuals. I share these experiences to illuminate the richness of our communities and the intersections therein. By portraying narratives of marginalized individuals, I seek to dismantle societal barriers, fostering empathy, understanding, and inclusivity. I aspire to continue making work for museums and galleries with marginalized communities at the core of my practice to engage wider audiences and encourage empathy for these groups. 

I use porcelain casts of commonly stigmatized disability aids and related imagery for my canvases to depict individuals who use these devices or similar medical aids to enhance their quality of life, inviting audience members to reconsider their connotations about such devices and the people who depend on them. Using color language from the disability pride flag, and incorporating other historical visual language into current conversations, each work provides a new context to consider its individual parts in. 

As I continue my research, this practice is applied to the intersectional communities I work with over a variety of mediums. As part of this dialogue, I explore personal, intimate, and erotic lives lived by these groups in paintings and prints, through photography, and more expansively in installations. Through this portrayal I challenge preconceptions, inviting viewers to appreciate the nuanced beauty of marginalized communities and the importance of embracing such diversity.
