About
I am an artist-researcher whose work centers epistemic sovereignty—the right of individuals and communities to define and value their own ways of knowing. My practice examines how dominant systems privilege certain forms of intelligence while marginalizing perceptual, intuitive, embodied, and non-normative cognition. Working across painting, drawing, photography, video, and research-driven projects, I use art as a method of inquiry, exploring how knowledge is produced through bodies in relation to materials, environments, and one another.
Grounded in my experience as a neurodivergent artist, my work engages visual thinking, pattern recognition, and sensory attunement as legitimate and rigorous forms of knowledge. Influenced by disability studies, decolonial and postcolonial theory, and ecological thought, I critique ableist infrastructures and epistemic injustice while advocating for inclusive, sensory-aware spaces of belonging. Across studio practice and public engagement, I aim to affirm perception as plural, embodied, and deeply diverse—using art as a site of recognition, agency, and collective understanding.
