Statement
It is my intention for my art to be a reflection of my inner expression, capturing the essence of my subjects as I respond to them. As an artist and a woman, I confront self-imposed boundaries rooted in fear and conformity, with the desire to embrace rebellion as a way to reclaim and discover my unique voice. I primarily work with oil paint and clay, occasionally exploring other mediums for diversity. After dedicating years to parenthood, I now embark on a slow journey to reignite my artistic pursuits, beginning anew.
