My work is an expression of big feelings, raw, honest, vulnerable, and bold. It speaks to the experience of motherhood, the loss of self, the fear of death, and the delicate balance between being human and animal. These emotions and experiences manifest in the figures I draw.

My large-scale paintings immerse the viewer in this perspective, reversing the roles of object and observer. Standing before them, you are no longer just looking at an image, you are standing in front of something larger than yourself, much like a child beside a towering animal. In this case, the presence is a mother: powerful, untamed.
