Artist Statement
I am a contemporary mixed media artist creating abstract artwork that explores emotion, movement, and expressive form. Working in layered collage, acrylic, watercolor, and ink, I create original art and fine art prints that capture the rhythm of lived experience through texture and intuitive mark-making.
I studied Illustration and Design in Chicago, where I developed strong illustration skills rooted in observational drawing and form. Through extensive life drawing studies, I built a deep understanding of anatomy, movement, and composition — foundations that continue to influence my expressive figures and abstract forms. My background also includes digital illustration and design, further expanding my range across both traditional and digital mediums. After several years in creative corporate roles, I chose to fully dedicate myself to my independent art practice.
Inspired by emotion, resilience, and everyday beauty, my work translates feeling into visual language — creating contemporary abstract art that evokes reflection, strength, feminine energy, and connection. Each piece is an exploration of depth, imperfection, and authenticity.
