Artist Statement

I am a multidisciplinary mixed-media artist working with collage, acrylic, illustration, and writing. My work explores mythology, fairy tales, dreams, the unseen, and other realms as ways of reimagining reality. Through layering and narrative, I create pieces that draw on both imagined and lived experience.
