MY ART IS A PLACE WHERE THE ANCIENT AND THE MODERN COEXIST, WHERE MYTHOLOGY MEETS PERSONAL NARRATIVE AND WHERE STORIES ARE TOLD. I AM A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY ARTIST, BUT I AM CURRENTLY IN LOVE WITH THE MEDIUM OF TAPESTRY.
TAPESTRIES, WITH THEIR RICH HISTORY DATING BACK CENTURIES, OFFER A UNIQUE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE PAST AND PRESENT. I AM FASCINATED BY THE IDEA OF THIS ANCIENT MEDIUM SERVING AS A VESSEL FOR MODERN IDEAS AND VISUALS. I STRIVE TO BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO THIS AGE-OLD TRADITION, INFUSING IT WITH CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVES AND THEMES AND YET ALLOWING THAT TIMELESS MYTHOLOGY TO EXIST IN EVERY WORK.
CREATING ART IS MY WAY OF FINDING STILLNESS AMIDST THE CHAOS OF LIFE. IT IS A FORM OF PROCESSING, A JOURNEY OF SELF-DISCOVERY, AND A MEANS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE WORLD. MY WORK IS DEEPLY PERSONAL, SERVING AS A WAY FOR ME TO EXPRESS THE COMPLEXITIES OF LIFE, FROM THE INTRICACIES OF SEXUALITY TO THE DEPTHS OF FRIENDSHIP AND THE DYNAMICS OF RELATIONSHIPS. I SEEK TO CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF THESE HUMAN EXPERIENCES, INVITING VIEWERS TO ENGAGE WITH AND REFLECT UPON THEIR OWN STORIES
