"NOT EVERYTHING THAT IS FACED CAN BE CHANGED, BUT NOTHING CAN BE CHANGED UNTIL IT IS FACED"
- JAMES BALDWIN
I am a New Orleans-based architect and visual artist whose practice combines portraiture and collage to examine how fragments of memory and place shape our understanding of self and the built environment. Working across drawing, painting, and architectural design, my work explores themes of resilience and interpersonal relationships using composition and material to reflect the complexity of lived experience.
With a Bachelor of Architecture from Louisiana State University, my design training informs how I approach structure, proportion, and negative space. This background carries into my artistic work, where portraits and environments are constructed through fragments of personal archive, observation, and memory. The result is a body of work that re-imagines family, community, and interior life as fluid and evolving, rather than fixed in time.
In parallel with my studio practice, my experience in community-centered architecture and design has strengthened an internal commitment to collaboration and inclusive design. Across both disciplines, my focus remains on how creative work can foster dialogue, stewardship, and deeper connections between people and the places they inhabit.
