artist statement

I infuse my work with vibrant energy, aiming to captivate viewers. Balancing an overstimulated yet focused surface, I explore form, function, whimsy, and playfulness. Each piece becomes an opportunity for discovery, as I experiment with multiple surface techniques and layering. The creative process holds immense importance—it’s where magic happens.

My art invites tactile exploration. By encouraging viewers to touch and experience, I bridge the gap between artist and audience. Guided by these principles, I create dynamic canvases that blend chaos and control, inviting others into my world of color, texture, and imagination.
