I hope that my paintings make people feel more connected, joyful and alive. 

I am interested in transformation, the incessant chain of fertility in the cycle of life, growth, death and rebirth. I want to celebrate diversity in every way and remind us to treasure and protect our planet and all its inhabitants. I am inspired by folk art, embroidery, textiles, goddess archeology and mythology. I play with symbols and the viscous colors of oil paints.​
