The Artist Behind the Work

I’m a New York-based performance artist, filmmaker, writer, registered nurse, and activist. For more than a decade, my work has lived in streets, subways, galleries, protests, nightlife spaces, film, and public performance.

My practice began in the street. Dance and performance became a way for me to survive, express myself, and eventually confront the world around me. Over time, that grew into a larger body of work rooted in the body, religion, sexuality, resistance, trans liberation, racial justice, and the sacred feminine. For me, art and activism have never really been separate. Protest can become performance. Performance can become ritual. The body itself can become a site of resistance.

Christian imagery appears throughout my work, especially the figure of Mary Magdalene. I reclaim these symbols through a trans, queer, and deeply embodied lens, questioning who gets to define what is holy, what is sinful, and whose body is worthy of reverence. My work confronts religious institutions, state power, policing, gendered violence, and the systems that attempt to control the body. But resistance isn’t the whole story. Joy, love, sexuality, vulnerability, freedom, and transformation are just as central to what I create.

In recent years, my practice has expanded into filmmaking and writing, including developing a larger spiritual and artistic mythology centered on Mary Magdalene, the Madonna, and the reclamation of the divine feminine. I’m interested in what happens when sacred stories are taken out of institutions' hands and returned to the people who actually live inside their bodies.

I’m also a registered nurse. Caring for people during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives has changed the way I understand the body, mortality, suffering, dignity, and love. Nursing isn’t separate from my creative life either. It’s become another way of witnessing humanity up close, and that experience continues to shape both my art and my community work.

At the center of it all is the body.

The body we’re told to hide. The body religion has called sinful. The body the state tries to regulate. The body people debate as though the person living inside it isn’t standing right there.

My work asks what happens when that body refuses to disappear.

It becomes the art.
