Artist Statement

I am an arts writer, curator, and historian committed to preserving and contextualizing the contributions of women and under-recognized artists in the Bay Area and California. I have collaborated with artists and arts professionals to document and contextualize their practices, and my writing has appeared in numerous exhibition catalogs, books, and publications, ranging from Artweek to Art in America. Through in-depth interviews, research, and curation, I record evolving conversations in contemporary art, and strive to place artists’ work within historical and cultural contexts while advocating for their legacies.

Much of my work centers on gathering, documenting, and interpreting artists’ voices and materials. My oral history project, “From the Studio,” engages artists in their creative spaces, exploring the intersection of process, environment, and creative intent. Whether through writing, exhibitions, or public programs, my work intends to sustain and share the histories that shape artistic practice today.
