My work begins with emotion. Each painting comes from a feeling, memory, or moment I want to hold onto before it disappears. Through painting, I translate those internal experiences into something visible and shared. 

I move between figurative and abstract work, allowing each approach to communicate something different. My paintings of women, often inspired by film and photography, focus less on identity and more on presence—capturing expressions and emotional states that feel both personal and familiar. Alongside this, my abstract work is guided by intuition, using color, movement, and texture to express emotions that are harder to put into words. 

Recurring subjects like chairs appear throughout my work as quiet symbols of human presence, memory, and absence. I’m drawn to ordinary objects that can hold emotional weight. Color also plays a central role in my practice, especially red, which I return to as a way of expressing intensity, warmth, and vulnerability. 

My creative process is deeply connected to movement and experience. Yoga helps center my practice, while late nights spent dancing at raves often fuel the emotional energy behind my work. Traveling also inspires me, exposing me to new environments, architecture, and atmospheres that spark fresh ideas and emotions. 

Although I am primarily self-taught, my background in Studio Arts helped shape my understanding of composition and technique. What began as a hobby gradually became a passion and an essential part of how I process the world around me.
