About

A material inherited,
a language invented.

My connection to mirror as a material goes back nearly a century in my family.

My grandfather and father worked with mirror and glass as their trade, industrial, functional, built for commerce rather than contemplation. I grew up surrounded by the material, learning its behavior intuitively long before I understood it as art.

My mother, a painter and sculptor, shaped the other half of me. Across my practice I've tried to bridge these two inheritances; taking a material rooted in craft and industry and pushing it toward something delicate, geometric, and expressive.

Because I know this material so well, from decades of hands-on familiarity, I can push it further than its traditional use allows. Every piece carries that inherited knowledge, reframed through an artistic eye.
