2025 Artist Statement

I aim to depict the unseen aspects of life, beyond our field of vision where color, spirit, and energy intersect and the mystical dimensions of reality manifest.

My work reflects my personal experiences and identity as a queer, female-identifying single mother, while also delving into universal and timeless themes connected to the collective. I explore the feminine divine, with figures representing archetypal aspects of women’s power, mystery, strength, autonomy, and sexuality.

Themes of mysticism, alternative spiritualities, transformation, and transcendence permeate my work, drawing on esoteric knowledge, mythological traditions and Eastern religions to influence the work. These ideas/concepts inform my approach to painting as a method of personal transformation, where the brush becomes a tool for introspection and expression.

For me, art is a conceptual practice—a painted exploration of consciousness that seeks to integrate the intelligence of the mind, the depth of emotion, and the wisdom of the body. I approach painting as both a visual meditation and a spiritual vessel, capable of absorbing and transmitting the emotions, energies, and stories of the artist.

The imagery in my paintings represents perception as an entanglement of memory and outward vision, blurring the lines between abstraction and figuration, the spiritual and material.

My paintings serve as portals to hidden realms, inviting viewers to explore the unseen dimensions of reality. Through my art, I seek to embody the eternal flow between the visible and invisible, pursuing a divine connection with the mysteries of the universe and nature.

Art fosters a connection with the essential nature of being, guiding us toward greater awareness and insight into our place within nature and the cosmos. My work emphasizes art’s transformative power, and I believe it has the energetic ability to communicate these elements directly to the viewer.
