CURATORIAL

My approach to curation is derived from my experience as an artist and educator, which aims to connect art to the public while leveraging the strengths of both the venue and artist. I view the platform of public programming as a unique opportunity for an audience to engage with an artist and their work, and it is the curator’s foremost responsibility to anticipate and facilitate a substantive experience to every person that walks into the space. I fundamentally believe that for our society to remain progressive and future-thinking, artists need to be supported, encouraged, and assisted by institutions that serve cultural equity over the commercial market. I am educated in all fine art mediums and while I have a specific history supporting sculpture, installation, and video, I do not limit myself to the purely visual. I also support the overlapping of artistic communities and celebrate new types of gatherings that can lead to creative critical conversations.
