Artistic Statement
I am a passionate artist who loves to learn and play. Curiosity propels me through every artistic adventure I undertake and I am always excited to throw myself into new experiences, ways of moving, and perspectives. To me movement is one of the most powerful methods of connection, whether it be with other movers in a space or with an audience. Dance is a method of exploration and expression that has captivated me my whole life, its ability to convey topics ranging from human experiences to science and nature keeps me constantly engaged in the art. To be able to express and communicate through movement is one of the biggest gifts I have been given in life.
