Statement

My creative process is driven by the liberating question: 'Why not?' This philosophy fuels a practice that celebrates spontaneity and flux, viewing the unconstrained studio process itself as the artwork. Working primarily on un-stretched canvas, I embrace the medium's physicality, employing techniques like cutting, stitching, and weaving to transform the surface.

I engage in a deliberate act of 'foraging and gathering,' incorporating 'found objects'—both organic (leaves, stems, husks) and inorganic (glass beads, rubber bands, fabric)—to explore themes of continuity and repurposing. Juxtaposing these disparate elements allows me to breathe 'a life of purpose' back into the discarded and preloved.

Inspired by Kandinsky, I practice narrative abstraction, using the canvas to explore the complexities of human relationships and the emotions depicted in my poetry. The written word acts as a running commentary, transforming personal experience into a universally resonant visual language. My work is a continuous exploration, pushing past doubt to realize the potential of the possible.
