Artist Statement

My work explores themes of identity, resilience, and empowerment, rooted in personal history and broader narratives of womanhood. Moving across cultures at a young age taught me about transformation, migration, and the emotional landscapes that shape who we become.

I was raised in a family of strong, independent women—among them my grandmother, a pioneer in aviation—whose examples deeply influenced my sense of possibility. Their stories of determination, courage, and reinvention are central to my work. Through painting and mixed media, I create pieces that honor the complexity, strength, and unseen narratives of women’s lives.

In a time when women's voices are still too often marginalized, I see art as a vital platform for visibility, connection, and empowerment. My work invites viewers to engage with stories of perseverance and transformation, to reflect on the ways women continue to shape the world—often quietly, often against great odds. By centering these narratives, I hope to affirm the importance of agency, representation, and collective strength in today's landscape.
