My works represent the moments I experience as life moves on, kind of like journal entries. Things I do, I want to do, interactions- all find themselves a place on my canvas.
Embroidery, fabric patchwork, photo prints, collaging, any object with sentimental value, craft material are my tools. My work is driven by visual elements such as continuous pattern, tangible texture, high contrast, two dominating colors, and clearly defined shapes.
My paintings have elements from the past, hope for the future, and struggle of the present. I do, redo, undo, overdo, dive in with experimentation and one thing leads to another, constant analysis helps me to get clear on what exactly I want to talk through a painting- be it the power of meditation, the tranquillity while swimming, or relaxation through the foliage. I create a space that brings calmness and a safe feeling helps to clear your head, gives you a breather.
