My Story
My work spans a variety of mediums, allowing me to stay open-minded, challenged, and fulfilled throughout my creative journey.
I draw deeply from my personal experiences of resilience, loss, and cultural identity. I was raised by my strict grandmother, a seamstress whose commitment to craft and discipline shaped the foundation of my creative practice. Her influence, along with enduring themes of family and motherhood, later became central to my portraits.
At sixteen, I experienced the profound loss of both my mother and my grandmother, who passed away just four months apart. That period deeply shaped my emotional depth and worldview, and over time it led me back to my artistic passion in my mid-forties. Alongside portraiture, I also explore my love of nature, which continues to inform and expand my work.
I have embraced a nomadic lifestyle for several years and remain committed to giving back to every community I visit through my practice.
