I am a visual artist whose practice explores the relationship between nature, mythology, and the unseen. Through painting, sculpture, and mixed media, I create symbolic landscapes that invite moments of remembrance, where the visible and the unseen quietly converge.

Since childhood, making has been my way of understanding the world. I was drawn to painting, ceramics, and sculpture long before I understood why. Although I initially dreamed of studying painting, my path led me to sculpture — a gift that taught me to think through form, space, and the silent intelligence of materials.

My work emerges through meditation, shamanic practice, and deep listening. Rather than illustrating these experiences, I allow them to transform into symbolic forms that speak beyond words. Nature, archetypes, and liminal spaces become places where personal experience meets something universal.

Each work is an invitation to pause, to listen, and to remember what has always been quietly present.
