Artist Statement

As a dreamer, I often find myself living in the space between the seen and the imagined. Creating has become my tiny world where I can finally dream with my eyes open. I draw inspiration from philosophy, spirituality, nature and life itself, seeking to explore the depths of existence and uncover the subtle truths of our human experience. Through imaginary realism, I explore life not just as it is, but as it is felt—fleeting, layered, mysterious and profound. Each piece is a meditation, a whisper of what it means to exist, to witness, to move through the world with both wonder and awareness. I invite you to pause, reflect, remember, and feel alongside me—to crack open new perspectives and perhaps, encounter dreams yet to come.

​

My visual arts work centers on culture, storytelling and abstraction—oftentimes inspired by child-like wonder, play and color. This has become my artistic playground.

 

Poetry is what holds me together and keeps me from hollowing. It intricately weaves all the chaos, beauty, tenderness, emotion and coarse fragments of life—both witnessed and lived—into something tangible. I write as an offering to life and as a trace of how it passes through me—a record of existence through my being.

​

Sculpting is a new world of endless playdates where my inner child roams free.

​

My hope is to soulfully weave together all that my hands make and all that my heart gives, binding them with sound and offering it for all to experience.
