Overview
Biography
The Art
I am a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, photography, sculpture, and mixed media, creating expressive works defined by bold color, rich texture, and dynamic composition. Inspired by people, nature, cities, travel, and sociopolitical landscapes, my work explores emotion, movement, and the layered complexities of lived experience. Intuition plays a central role in my process, allowing each piece to evolve through discovery and response.
In my photographic work, I digitally manipulate imagery to enhance color and texture, then transform the printed surface through layers of paint, mixed media, and embellishment, creating a tactile fusion of digital and traditional processes.
Across all mediums, my work is rooted in feeling and invites viewers to slow down, look closer, and engage emotionally. I embrace a fluid, interdisciplinary practice, allowing each idea to find its own form.
