Artist Statement

Using acrylic paints, mixed media, and textiles, I explore color combinations and their emotional impact, creating uplifting environments. In the midst of life’s challenges and uncertainties, I seek a brighter perspective through the lens of my art. Through bold colors, gestural marks, stitching, and shapes, I aim to reflect the interconnectedness of humanity. With a colorful, joyful energy, these works invite viewers to imagine, to play, and to remain curious.
