As an artist, creativity facilitator, and energy worker, my practice is guided by a desire to express the intangible through imagery. Meaning drives my work rather than medium, with each material chosen in service of the vision it helps bring forward. Utilizing mostly watercolor, acrylic, chalks, ink, and image transfers, I enjoy playing with how materials interact, collaborate, and resist one another, often pushing beyond their expected use.
My process begins with the idea of a gesture: an embodied sentiment, memory, or emotional space I want to examine. I observe the shapes and lines of the human form, echoing and repeating them throughout the composition. From there, the materials build atmosphere and the image gradually emerges. Whether immediately recognizable or veiled in fog, texture, and pattern, the work cultivates a dreamlike quality that invites viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with their own inner landscapes.
