Ava has a long history of using the act of art creation to aid in processing the regular stress associated with ongoing medical care. That life is what first exposed her to a world at odds with plastic. Her appreciation of the diverse applications available with resins came into direct conflict with its health risks and environmental concerns.
As Ava navigated this dilemma within her own art practice, she discovered bio-resins. Since then, she has been working with them while searching for more sustainable and eco-friendly plastic options every step of the way. Her medical and environmental history inspired her to create the bio-resin artworks she is known for today. Whether it’s a color-filled resin sculpture piece intended for meditation practice, a memorial encasement piece to bring comfort to a surviving loved one, or a calming wall piece aimed at increasing the enjoyment of commercial spaces, each piece that Ava creates is a visual manifestation of the search for balance that drives her own life.
