I hope that my paintings make people feel more connected and alive.
I am interested in transformation, the incessant chain of fertility in the cycle of life, growth, death and rebirth. I am inspired by folk art, embroidery, textiles, goddess archeology and mythology. I play with symbols, imagery and colors that celebrate diversity and abundance. |
