My work is born from the quiet power of nature: its raw textures, its gentle erosion, its eternal rhythm of becoming and disappearing. I am drawn to the way the earth bears time, how age reveals depth rather than decay. Each layer, each mark, holds a whisper of untold stories, a language of calm and mystery that I aspire to translate onto canvas.

Nature calls me home as I journey toward healing. In its silence, I find truth. In its vastness, I rediscover my center. It reminds me that strength can be gentle, stillness can be intense, and simplicity often holds the deepest wisdom.

The muted tones and rough surfaces of most of my paintings reflect both the landscapes of the world and those within me. They speak of renewal, letting go, and finding beauty in imperfection.

At the heart of each work is a single golden mark. It is the touch of my inner child, the spark that brought me back to creation. She is my guide and my witness—tender, courageous, and worthy of being seen. Together, we paint to remember who we truly are.
