Statement
My artistic journey began at a very young age, with early memories of painting alongside my grandmother at her kitchen table. It has become my lifelong passion.
Drawing upon heart-felt memories and everyday moments, my work strives to evoke peace, balance, and beauty. Nature is an inspiration, complemented by a meditation practice that nurtures my inner calm—the foundation of my creative process.
Specializing in contemporary abstract art using acrylics and charcoal, I craft compositions that evolve through layers, playing with color contrasts, and subtle tensions. I engage each piece in a dialogue, blending initial marks with intentional decisions to maintain authenticity. My paintings invite viewers to pause and experience a release, akin to taking a deep breath, offering a beat of serenity amidst the hustle of life.
Through my work, I seek to create a space where others can discover their own sense of relaxed spaciousness, encouraging moments of quiet contemplation and respite.
