Each of her figures begins with a single piece of wire, and then “the wire is cut, shaped and fastened to itself. Then repeated again and again. Later in the process the wire will be woven through until it becomes a substantial object, that can be further manipulated and cut into shape.”

The artist studied at School of the Visual Arts in New York and the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. See more of her work below.
