“As a working woman artist with a penchant for the surreal, the artwork I choose to collect similarly represents my own ethics, metaphysical interests, and complex life-experiences. I believe deeply in my creative community, especially women and non-binary artists who use their art practices as a proactive way to question material reality, find healing, embrace multi-displinary experimentation, and engage fellow creative community. Therefore, I do not collect artworks from artists with questionable social ethics, artists who use exploitative studio labor models, artists who don't actually make their own artwork, or artists who do not make the time to show up for others. As an artist (and collector), I think globally, but act locally. I believe being an active community member on a local level is critical to growing and sustaining a healthy arts ecosystem. I want all my artist friends to thrive and succeed! I want all of us to keep making art until we are grey-haired old witches like Louise Bourgeois. Therefore, I predominantly collect (and trade) artworks from witchy artists whose energy I wish to nurture and to keep close to me.”
