Artist statement

I am a storyteller with a paintbrush in hand. I depict magic stories. Some of them are about personal experiences like motherhood; others explore bigger issues such as our place in the universe. Every painting is an expedition to a feminine surreal world. Overall, my work explores transformation, resiliency, and connectivity by using natural symbolism, from transparent butterflies to animal masks. I believe art has the power to touch hearts and transform lives.
