Statement

​

    I am a contemporary artist whose acrylic paintings explore the balance between innocence and seriousness to inspire self-acceptance. Through my study of diverse cultures and the human psyche, I draw on esoteric traditions, ancient symbolism, pop culture, and health and wellness. I incorporate self-reflection, meditation, and exercise into my creative process. My work combines representational imagery with molded relief, using acrylic paint skins and molding paste. The interplay of texture and bold, vibrant color adds depth and enticement, while symbolism invites viewers to reflect and engage more deeply with the work.
