My artwork is rooted in curiosity about what pulses beneath the surface of our lives—the emotions, memories, and invisible connections that shape our experience. Through mixed media, expressive line, bold colour, gold, symbolism, and geometric pattern, I explore how intuition and intention become form. I am drawn to the meeting of structure and spontaneity, the material and the spiritual, and the ways a shape or symbol can hold a story, a feeling, or a sense of connection. Each piece unfolds through listening, experimentation, and trust, leaving room for play and unexpected meaning. My intention is to create moments of recognition and wonder that bring us closer to ourselves, one another, and the stories we carry and pass on.


ANTIDOTE, 2024


There comes a point in space, when the path forward leads inward—to the places we avoid, try to forget, or hide from ourselves. The stuff that must come up. That needs to be seen. This work reflects that threshold.

What is the gift (in the pain)?

The shadow is not only a place of darkness, but also of discovery and transformation. On the other side of facing what has been hiding is joy, wisdom, and the space where our authentic gifts can come out to play.
