Statement:
My work weaves together fragments of memory, found imagery, and intuitive mark-making to create visual stories that live between the real and the imagined. I’m drawn to old photographs, weathered papers, and imperfect surfaces as they carry history and emotion. Color plays an essential role in my process, as do elements of whimsy or surrealism, inviting curiosity and reflection. Each piece is less about fixed meaning and more about creating space for wonder or connection through shared experiences or memories.
Biography:
From a young age, I found myself enraptured by the kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and infinite stories and connections that the world offered. My journey through various creative outlets — from drawing, fiber arts, painting, sculpture, and back and forth again — was a search for the perfect medium to express this fascination. Never finding that “one” medium, I have embraced being a multidisciplinary artist . The marriage of vivid hues and lots of mixed media elements, along with the sheer exhilaration of making a mess in the process, captured my imagination like nothing else.
My artistic journey grew untethered by convention as I embraced a self-directed art education, immersing myself in an ever-expanding array of materials from painting and mixed media to the creation of sculptural works. Later I delved into classes and intensive programs to further my skills.
Driven by a penchant for the vibrant and the eclectic, I thrive on experimentation and innovation. I relish the inclusion of unexpected elements in many works—fur on birds, bling adorning foxes, or bold, vibrant hues that defy convention—infusing my work with a sense of whimsy and wonder.
Each creation is a thrilling and playful voyage of exploration for me; a journey where art breathes life into my soul. I eagerly anticipate the discoveries and inspirations that lie ahead.
