Materials & Process
I work with charcoal, acrylic, mixed media, burlap, natural pigments, coffee, gold leaf, collage, and canvas. My process combines intuitive mark-making, layering, texture building, and symbolic storytelling, allowing each artwork to develop organically while preserving its emotional depth.
“I don’t create art to decorate walls. I create it to leave a feeling that stays with the viewer long after they walk away.”
