My Vision

For more than a decade, I have worked within the public art field, learning the process of designing and building large scale sculptural work from concept to installation. My experience has shaped a deep understanding of how art lives within public space and how it must balance creativity, structure, and purpose.

I believe public art should reflect the community it serves. The history of a place, the culture, the people, and the landscape all influence what a piece should become. Art has the power to create gathering spaces, spark conversation, and bring individuals together.

As a woman working in a field where fewer young voices are represented, I see opportunity. Variety brings strength. Different perspectives create richer work. I am committed to creating sculpture that feels grounded, thoughtful, and connected to the communities it lives in.

This is my journey to create meaningful public art that lasts, work that speaks to place and brings people together.

ROOTED IN THE TRADES

I grew up on job sites, learning how to build with my hands before I ever called myself an artist. Today, I design and develop large scale public art that reflects the people and places it belongs to.

I was raised in a family of builders. Working alongside my father, Mike Todd, a master concrete artist and contractor, I learned early that creating something lasting requires patience, teamwork, and problem solving. From early experience in concrete design, forming, and finishing to working on televised projects for HGTV and the DIY Network, I developed a deep respect for craftsmanship and collaboration.

Those early years shaped the way I approach art today. I am comfortable on job sites, in fabrication shops, and in conversations that bring ideas to life. I believe creativity and construction belong together.

Over the past decade, I have worked in public art, designing and supporting the fabrication of large scale sculptural installations. I have learned how to move an idea from sketch to structure, balancing creative vision with technical execution.

Public art excites me because it lives in community. It invites gathering, conversation, and shared memory. My work is rooted in the belief that art should reflect its surroundings and the people who interact with it.

As a woman in a field traditionally shaped by the trades, I see strength in bringing new perspective to public spaces. Variety brings life and different voices create stronger work.
