My paintings are simultaneous explorations of what I see, where I’ve been and how I want to feel. Like me, they are multilayered, complex and full of surprises.
MessageCollection: wild-HER-ness
The 'wild-HER-ness' collection is about freedom, self-expression, and taking up space without apology. Through large, bold, and raw abstract paintings, I seek to bend the rules of art and challenge the ways women are told to hold back, stay small, or censor themselves.
These paintings are inspired by nature, movement, and instinct, using big strokes, rich textures, and flowing, unpredictable forms. I worked on large substrates and loose canvas to avoid feeling confined by the edges of the painting, allowing the energy of each piece to expand beyond its physical borders. The pieces feel wild and untamed—free from limits and full of energy. This collection is both a statement and a rebellion: a refusal to shrink, stay quiet, or fit into narrow expectations.
The 'wild-HER-ness' collection is an immersive experience that invites viewers to step into a world where emotions take the lead and creativity has no rules. It is about breaking free, speaking up, and embracing the wild, powerful voice within. These paintings celebrates women who refuse to be confined, offering a space where art and self-expression are as big, bold, and limitless as they choose to be.
