I paint the spaces between what’s seen and hidden, inherited and chosen, wild and rooted.

My abstract botanical series are an ode to untamed strength. They are focused on beauty that grows where it isn’t expected. I see wildflowers as metaphors for women and immigrants alike: thriving in unpredictable conditions, resisting containment, and blooming anyway.

In my portraiture and figurative work, I turn inward to explore the quiet tension between a woman’s inner voice and the face she shows the world. These works hold emotional duality. In the layers of brushwork and vivid colors, you will find the dichotomy between confidence and vulnerability, between silence and assertiveness.

Before painting full-time, I worked as an attorney, a role that taught me to see complexity and listen for what’s unsaid. That listening continues in my work, where themes of identity, memory, and cultural inheritance surface more directly.

Across all my work, I paint people, mostly women, as they really are when they are their authentic selves. In my mind, that authenticity can be described as uncontained, resilient, and becoming. I paint the emotional landscapes we carry from memory to future and from root to bloom. This is also true throughout my portraiture and figurative work where I explore the process of becoming our authentic selves and dropping our outdoor masks.
