Sometimes I feel as though the universe speaks to me. Whenever I feel lost or uncertain, I ask for reassurance that I'm heading in the right direction. And, as if it's listening, a sign appears when I least expect it. It whispers through the trees, manifests with an animal stopping by to say hi, or meets me in my dreams. These spiritual encounters give me hope and guide my relationship with myself and the world.

My paintings are reimagined narratives, capturing the tension between my solitude and uncertainty, longing and wonder. By using myself as a character in my paintings, I confront my desire for internal clarity while seeking signs from my surroundings. My depictions of animals and symbolic objects signify hope, transformation, and tenderness. From foxes leaping through a bed of flowers to the fascination of finding a feather on the ground, these pictures reveal a playfulness with an underlying longing for answers.

My paintings are contour drawings merged with more detailed imagery, thickly layered paint, scratched surfaces, and collage. The scratches and layers mirror how these signs emerge in my life, forming overlapping flat and gestural forms. Some figures emerge from the background, while others are absorbed into the canvas, emphasizing the feeling of being present or uneasy. My saturated color palette brings intensity and uncertainty, creating a liminal space where the ordinary meets the unfamiliar.
