“These paintings are echoes of many things. Moments of stillness. The personal growth I cultivate through meditation and inner work in my daily routines. The quiet hours and long nights alone in the studio. They also carry the marks of movement, emotion, curiosity—and intention.

My process is both spontaneous and considered, guided by intuition and supported by preparation, drawings, and vision. Inspiration can come from anywhere—what I feel, what I see, what I imagine.

But when I’m fully present in the studio, there’s a certain calm that allows everything to align. That space—where intuition meets form—is where the work truly begins to unfold.

I often return to the idea that your hands can only create what’s in your heart. Each piece carries the quiet and the chaos, the planned and the unknown—all of it flowing through me and into the work..”
