When you stand before one of my paintings, I want you to feel more than color on canvas — I want you to feel a doorway opening. My journey began in science and medicine, searching for hidden patterns of life while working in oncology. But eventually, I returned to my roots, to the inheritance of my family of painters, and to Emily Carr University, where I found another way to heal — not through cells, but through the soul.
I paint intuitively, guided by music, prayer, and the unseen. Angels, Kabbalistic symbols, and numerological codes emerge through layers of color and texture, transforming each painting into a talisman — a vessel of protection, guidance, and renewal.
My art is more than an image — it is an invitation: to pause, to listen, to feel the presence of something greater, and to remember that we are never alone.

Holding a Master of Science in Cell Biology, my work is rooted in a deep understanding of life at its most intricate and unseen levels.

My artistic voice continued to evolve at Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, where I explored the language of contemporary painting and visual storytelling.

With over 15 years of dedication to oil painting, I create works that bridge science and spirit—where structure meets intuition, and each layer reveals a deeper, unseen reality.

My work has been presented in both solo and group exhibitions in Vancouver and internationally, spanning gallery shows, digital exhibitions, and interdisciplinary art events.

Recent highlights include Roots and Wings at the Sidney & Gertrude Zack Gallery (Vancouver), and the proposed solo exhibition Whispers of the Infinite: Messages for the Soul.

I have also participated in international exhibitions such as Night of Contemporary (World of Crete), as well as juried competitions including the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize (Surrealism Category).

My practice is further engaged through community and charity exhibitions, including Art for Hope at the Royal Canadian Legion, and curated events such as International Women’s Day exhibitions in Vancouver.
