Watercolor and gold leaf on paper
$350
Artist Statement:
My work explores the wild, animal aspect of the self—that instinctual, untamed presence within us that emerges most vividly through dreams. In dreamspace, the boundaries between human and nature dissolve; we remember that our bones, our breath, our pulse are all woven from the same elements that shape the earth, the sky, and every living creature.
Through my art, I seek to give form to this connection—to make visible the inner wilderness that lies beneath our surface. The figures, textures, and materials I use echo the rhythms of the natural world: organic, raw, and alive. Each piece becomes a kind of offering, a reminder that our most primal, authentic selves are not separate from nature but of it.
I am drawn to the intersection of transformation and memory—the way dreams invite us to shed layers of civilization and return, even for a moment, to the truth of our animal being. My creative process is intuitive, guided by emotion and instinct rather than plan or precision. It is an act of remembering, of listening to what the wild within wants to say.
