I’m an artist based in Los Angeles working around themes of memory, gender, and process. My work centers shared spaces and how they connect us to one another. The fixation with texture comes from years of building tiny Jenga dessert towers as a pastry chef in Michelin restaurants and hotels across the US. Now, I document what lies beyond the food porn feed: the people, landscape, and possibility.
Publications include The Los Angeles Times, Gastronomica, Noice, F-Stop, and Midnite Snack.
I am a ballet fanatic and would never say no to a green tamale.
