Artist Statement:
My work is rooted in storytelling—often centered around the female figure, fashion, and character design—as a way to explore identity, emotion, and connection. I work across multiple mediums, including graphite, acrylic, oil paint, and digital illustration, choosing what best supports the mood or narrative of each piece. While my career has followed a winding path, art has remained a constant source of clarity and expression. Now, I’m intentionally creating space to deepen my practice and share work that feels honest and emotionally resonant. I aim to make art that invites introspection and connection—visual narratives that speak to the complexities of being human. Whether through a quiet sketch or a detailed painting, my process is about reconnecting with my creative voice and offering something sincere. This chapter marks a shift toward full engagement with my artistic purpose—and an openness to wherever that path may lead.
