Utilizing mixed media and sculptural basketry, Westrup’s work explores themes of tension, movement, and the bi-cultural aesthetics of her home. She was recently awarded a Nasher Artist Grant and semi-finalist Nest Heritage Craft Prize in 2023. Westrup is currently an artist-in-residence at the Penland School of Craft and represented by Cluley Projects Gallery.
