I’ve always made art—drawn to the freedom of nature and creating without asking permission. A bit of a rebel (rules of thirds? never heard of her), I follow instinct over instruction, letting curiosity, experiment, mistakes, and feeling lead the way. Over time, I’ve developed a personal, unpolished style rooted in emotion and imperfection. I’m drawn to what’s been discarded—scraps, stains, forgotten objects—and find beauty in giving them new life through texture, layering, and story and incorporating nature into all things. My work is about reclaiming beauty in what’s been cast aside and not seen then giving it a new life because these discarded things still have something to say.
