I’m a Brooklyn-based artist working across music, fiction, drawing, and conceptual visual art. Across these forms, I return to questions of freedom, agency, meaning, connection, mortality, and ambiguity--especially what happens when a person’s inward sense of freedom meets limits imposed by other people, circumstance, or the physical world.

I often begin with something I can picture or feel clearly before I understand what it means: a word, a melody, a speculative premise, an image, or an idea. Rather than deciding in advance what it must symbolize, I follow it and allow its meaning to emerge through the work. My fiction places ordinary people inside impossible situations: a dying woman is given power over the world; memory and identity alter the physical environment; and a journey home bends time and reality. As Tulip, I write, sing, and produce pop music about identity, agency, loss, grief, and rebuilding. Nature recurs throughout my work not simply as setting, but as a language for states of mind.

My visual project Field Notes began with a quiet landscape I first encountered in meditation seven years ago and have returned to ever since. The project sits between the rural landscape of Portola, California, where I grew up; New York, where I now live; and an internal sense of home that feels familiar and safe without corresponding to either. I document its geography, plants, animals, landmarks, and encounters as though surveying a real place. Graphite drawings, maps, handwritten observations, frames, pins, and black cord form a growing archive. Its inhabitants become clearer only through attention and return.

Across all of my work, I try to make uncertainty concrete enough to examine. I want each song, story, or image to give the audience something specific to encounter without telling you what conclusion to reach.
