I am both an artist and art therapist. My work reflects this by highlighting the emotional impact of art through depictions of emotional vulnerability and hope.
Working with acrylic and oil paint on canvas, I create imagery that exposes my own vulnerability through the revealing nature of art-making. Viewers are invited to find consolation and solidarity from the universality of these human emotions—and in doing so, unveil the meaning and beauty derived through connection with others.
Recent work features the complex array to emotions arising from living in a post-pandemic world, spanning from disillusionment to hope.
