Statement

Creating is how I make sense of the world. Through figurative, stylized paintings of women in moments of calm or action, I explore emotion, identity, and quiet strength. Each work is shaped by a desire to bring something meaningful and highly individual into view—not to explain, but to express. I’m drawn to the stillness between gestures, the beauty in pause, and the quiet narratives we carry. Through my process I seek not only to express beauty but to create space—for thought, connection, and the quiet power of a moment in time.
