For me, the journey of creation is far more beautiful and meaningful than the destination. My art is not merely about the final output but about the evolving process that captures my experiences, emotions, and responses to the world around me. I am inspired by nature?s diverse forms plateaus, hills, mountains, valleys, rivers, oceans, rocks and the ways people adapt to their surroundings. This constant evolution of life, both in nature and human behavior, deeply influences my work.

I work primarily with mixed media, using acrylic as a base, but my creativity extends to papers, textiles, and even found objects. Each medium I choose is a reflection of the thoughts and feelings that have lingered in my mind, waiting for the right moment to be expressed. One of my works even incorporates currency, symbolizing the layers of meaning and value we assign to objects in our lives.

The process of creating art for me is an intuitive journey. It begins with a thought often one that has been with me for a long time growing and evolving as I consider which medium will best convey its essence. As the work progresses, I remain open to where it might lead, allowing the process itself to guide the final form. This journey of creation mirrors the continuous dialogue within me, shaped by my social surroundings and the resilience of people who find ways to move forward despite challenges.

I strive to create art that embodies our dialogue with the world, capturing the intricacies of our responses. My work is a testament to the transformative power of this process, as each piece reflects the thoughts, concerns, and experiences that shape our lives.
