Statement
My art is a reflection of my inner journey, capturing moments of discovery and struggle as I navigate different mediums alongside the demands of daily life. Through my practice, I seek to discover my unique voice and ultimately use it to express myself fully. I like to work with oil paint, clay, watercolor, pastel, and book arts.
After years dedicated to parenthood, I am now attempting to reignite my artistic pursuits, though I often feel lost and tangled in distractions and directions. Painting has always felt like a natural calling, yet it carries a weight of expectations and challenges for me. Clay work has been liberating, and recently, book arts become renewed avenues for exploration.
Balancing my artistic endeavors with the demands of daily life leaves me feeling spread thin. Yet, through this chaos, I continue to search for my unique voice, striving to reclaim and discover my true self.
