I consider my artwork to be my greatest form of communication, as it explains my thoughts, my feelings and emotions to myself and to those who see it. Perhaps it is that most of these thoughts and feelings simply can’t be expressed any other way. By creating art focusing on my identity, on matters of my physical and mental well-being, I am able to work through complicated matters, using mediums that bring me comfort and joy. I am hopeful that this may inspire others to do the same, as I believe creating is incredibly beneficial on the journey to healing the mind, body and soul. To remain authentic to myself, I often try to channel my child-self, for I consider her to be my truest self. I gain a lot of my inspiration and insight from her.

I have always been fascinated with capturing the human form on canvas, whether it be through self-portraiture, portraits or figural works. It is a very special experience to paint someone, whether it be myself or another individual. Not only are we celebrating their physical form, but I also I feel that through the painting process aspects of ourselves are revealed that are otherwise hard to capture. For me, the act of painting has always flowed effortlessly through my body – a passionate dance shared between my intuition and physical body. I do however consider myself to be an eclectic, interdisciplinary artist and explore textiles and fashion, sculpture, drawing and collage, graphic design & illustration within my work as well."
