Sleeping Beauty, 2025
mixed media: paper, thread, floss, ink, paste, hot glue 26" x 23" x 3"
What happens when the fairy tail is a lie? This piece Sleeping Beauty isn't about waiting for a kiss. Its about the violation of being awoken for someone else's purpose and the beautiful decay that allows new life to begin. A women's worth is not a fairy tale. I am a mixed media and fiber artist channeling the beautiful rebellion, translating a souls journey though shadow work and meticulously layered stories. My work series is a powerful, tactile call to reclaim our worth and unsilence the history of the feminine.
