Artist Statement

There are two sides to every story – as a mixed media artist, exploring different perspectives is what inspires my work.

Its elusive quality can transform anxiety into trust, pain into possibility – every movement is a reaction, and every composition is a flight from a story of imperfection.

Expressed as intimate panel studies, the surface is a language of texture with layered bursts of hope through multiple layers. What is revealed is an interplay of lines, shapes, and contrast, with tactile elements adding dimension to the surface.

The impetus to create is to reveal another story within – one of goodness, light, and stability, even in the midst of turbulence.
