I have always loved drawing. When I was younger, I would often doodle on my class notes or trace images I admired. Some of my earliest memories are of doing crafts with my grandma which sparked my imagination and creativity.

    In high school, I realized I wanted to pursue a career in art. As I explored different mediums and techniques, I discovered that creating helped me cope with anxiety and express emotions that were otherwise difficult to articulate. Art became a tool for emotional processing, reflection, and healing and has helped shape who I am today.

    My process is both intuitive and responsive. I often begin with a feeling, memory, or a subject that I find interesting and let the materials guide me. I like to explore all kinds of media and often like to mix it up. I’m also drawn to methods that encourage mindfulness and grounding, such as zentangle, neurographic art, and repetitive subjects. These practices allow me to connect deeply with myself and regulate overwhelming emotions.

    Today, art remains the way I reflect, regulate, and understand the world around me. I have explored personal themes such as grief, identity, and growth. My work blends observation with interpretation, combining recognizable imagery with emotional undertones. I hope that when people view my work, they gain a glimpse into how I experience the world, not just visually, but emotionally. Whether abstract or representational, my art speaks to the quiet, meaningful moments that shape us.
