“I make works from my soul-
Works that engage with feelings, emotions, and thoughts. I offer intimate moments of time and space, allowing each viewer a chance at self-reflection and individual release. My work depicts stages of a journey in which each individual can fill their own gaps. My practice is about form and flow. I allow the process to take over my mind as I become fully engrossed in the moment. I start with a simple impulse, and it develops and transforms into something multilayered and indefinable. ”
