About

Through research, fieldwork, interviews, writing, photography, and material experimentation, I explore how places hold memory, shape identity, and reveal ways of knowing that escape conventional narratives. My practice is grounded in close observation and sustained attention, bringing together personal histories, ecological change, and collective experience to explore ways of knowing.

Alongside my artistic practice, I have spent more than two decades as an international economist and strategist, working across more than twenty countries to help governments, nonprofits, and philanthropic organizations navigate complex social and economic challenges. Living and working extensively in Palestine, Jordan, and Lebanon since 2008 has profoundly shaped both my professional perspective and my artistic practice.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Communications and Fine Arts from the University of Pennsylvania and a master's degree in Development Economics from The Fletcher School at Tufts University. My work has been supported by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, and featured in Empowering Women through Painting—Jordan and Cutting Edges: Contemporary Collage (Gestalten). In addition to numerous group exhibitions, my project Imagination of Salvation: Actions on the Land was presented in solo exhibitions at IA&A at Hillyer and the Wilson Center in Washington, DC.
