I smile, but inside, I’m screaming. I laugh until it stings, then cry without warning. It’s all real, I never lie (or do I?). I spill paint like a confession, leave marks like a bruise. Come closer—no, wait. Stay there. You’ll think you’ve caught it, but it’s already gone—or maybe it was never there at all.

The work I create naturally expresses what I find words often fail to capture—a way to leave traces of who I am and where I’ve been. This form of expression is driven by the need to constantly establish my own environment, a space that feels safe, where I can exist freely while offering viewers a glimpse into that world. What is encountered offers no single answer, but instead just a glimpse of who I am, where I want to be, and what I expressed in the moment. At the same time, the environments that I construct open a space for reflection, curiosity, and discovery, not only for me, but for others.

I think of my work as a chorus—voices clashing, harmonizing, and overlapping. Joy collides with pressure, freedom with expectation, and aggressive gestures hide behind what I see are adorable colors. My process is instinctive; materials take the lead, and I follow with a response to the material with the emotion I am feeling at the time. Tension exists between raw immediacy and careful placement, as if each object and mark is both spontaneous and deeply considered. I add, remove, and rearrange until they feel right—a shifting installation where ideas take shape and dissolve over time that never has an end point. 

My work moves between chaos and play, where painting, installation, and sculpture collide. Walking into the studio reveals an immersive assemblage—part installation, part collage—sprawled across the floor, climbing walls, hanging from the ceiling. These pieces form a dialogue about identity—layered, spontaneous, and contradictory. I use found objects, cardboard, plastic, and unstretched canvas, painting over, recontextualizing, and reconstructing them. These materials carry personal history and everyday traces, transformed through each gesture. The compositions balance playfulness with tension, as bold colors, marks, and handwritten text hint at hidden layers of thought and experience.
