Artist statement

Dark clouds bring waters is a body of work that dives into the unconscious. where hidden truths and unspoken fears take shape. it is an invitation to confront the darkness within, not to erase it but to understand it. I explore themes of vulnerability, uncertainty and self –reckoning, drawing from personal experiences while leaving room for the viewers own interpretation. My approach is intuitive, I start with chaos and through the process of layering, erasing and reworking the piece finds its own balance. I am always in conversation with the work, responding rather than dictating, allowing it to emerge as it needs to.
