I am an experimental, self-taught artist with an insatiable curiosity for color, texture, form, and the endless possibilities of creative expression. I am drawn to exploring unconventional materials and techniques, often allowing the process itself to guide the work. Paper, wax, fabric, ink, acrylic, watercolor, collage, and even fragments of broken metal may find their way into my pieces. I am constantly learning, experimenting, and searching for new ways to transform color and texture into something unexpected and otherworldly. Ultimately, I hope my art does more than simply occupy a space on a wall, but evoke joy, wonder and fascination.
