Professional Summary
Contemporary painter and multidisciplinary artist whose work explores identity, resilience, and the complexities of the human experience. Rooted in personal and collective narratives, my practice examines the relationships, responsibilities, and experiences that shape who we are and what we carry. Through painting, sculpture, and public art, I create work that reflects the beauty, vulnerability, and strength of everyday life, inviting viewers to find connections to their own stories and communities.
