Hi Humans! Things are happening in 2026! As you may know, after 7 years in The Netherlands we moved to France! It's been hectic but the studio is finally up and running in our little Norman house. Drop me a line if you'd like to stay updated— or to just say Hi. I have been making lots of new work and will be sharing it very, very soon! Bisous!

Other awards include an MFA Fellowship and a Past Fellows Award from the Dedalus Foundation in 2022; a Union League Civic & Arts Foundation Award; and an Ellen Batell Stoeckel Fellowship from Yale University School of Art.
