Who am I?

I am a Mixed Media Artist Located in Southern California.

 My art is driven by inspiration, a force that guides me as I let each piece develop organically. Often, I find myself amazed at how the initial spark of inspiration transforms and evolves throughout the creative process.

I use a variety of materials—whether collage, charcoal, crayons, or paint—tailoring my approach to the needs of each individual piece. Handmade papers and sanding, for example, enable me to create textures and images beyond what I could have initially envisioned. Each choice is deliberate, aimed at pushing the boundaries of what I can convey through my art.

Influenced by my life experiences, travels, and friends , my creations are shaped by a rich tapestry of ideas that excite and inspire me. These diverse sources fuel my creative process and keep it vibrant and evolving.

I hope that my art resonates with viewers by encouraging them to craft their own narratives. My intention is to evoke joy and inspiration, inviting others to connect with the emotions and stories embedded in my work.

My creative process is characterized by a playful chaos, beginning with experimentation and evolving through trial and error. Challenges are embraced as opportunities for growth, leading me to new discoveries and deeper insights.

Through my art, I aim to forge a meaningful connection with others, sharing a piece of my inner world and inviting viewers into an ongoing dialogue.
