My artistic journey has unfolded, a winding path, through pastel, oil, sculpture, ink, watercolor, and acrylic. What began as representational work shifted toward impressionism, and now I find freedom in abstraction, allowing my imagination and experience of the world to flow without constraint.

My inspiration comes from things I love: nature, hiking, music, travels, parks, cities, good writing, happy children and anything else beautiful. Color plays a key role in my artwork, often highlighting scenes with dynamic energy or serene calm. Whether a striking landscape, a delicate flower, an expressive face, or a vibrant jazz scene, I use color to express the mood and energy. I am moved by beauty in many forms — the steady motion of waves against rocky shores, landscapes that hover between reality and dream, graceful gestures, and the emotional power of music, deepening my connection to creativity and shaping the visual language in my paintings. Grounded in intuition and experimentation, I often begin with quick playful sketches in my journal to form a concept that may later be used in a painting with traditional or non-traditional materials. I like to experiment with materials found in nature or in my kitchen to create marks unlike a brush would.

Currently, I am working on a series inspired by live music. Guided by melody and rhythm, I explore the dynamic interplay, seeking to capture moments where sound and image merge into a singular, vibrant expression.
