I am both an artist and art therapist. My work reflects this by highlighting the psychological impact of art through depictions of emotional vulnerability.

Working with acrylic and oil paint on canvas, I create imagery that exposes my own vulnerability through the revealing nature of art-making. Viewers are invited to find consolation and solidarity from the universality of these human emotions—and in doing so, unveil the meaning and beauty derived through connection with others.
