As a process-based artist and designer, I delight in crafting vivid visual narratives through the playful intermingling of bold colors, prismatic palettes, and animated gestural forms. My assembled constructions, paintings, and drawings transcend humble materials, gaining significance from the very process they undergo. In my work, spontaneity and thoughtfulness unite, intertwining studio souvenirs and mark-making mementos to provoke nuanced dialogues encompassing memory, creativity, habit, and everyday experiences. My practice is an embodiment of play, aiming to ignite wonder, courage, exploration, inquiry, and curiosity—a tapestry of qualities that fosters resilience in the face of life's ever-changing currents.
