I have a strong belief in the power of expression for the purpose of growth and understanding of oneself. As a child, I was averse to the stereotype of bottling in emotions, even though this was what was taught in many aspects of my life. I grew to believe speaking for myself would result in disagreement, disregard or disgust. Thus, I taught myself to channel my innermost thoughts, from the elated to the tumultuous, into art as a way to communicate when words would not suffice. 

​

My greatest hope is that others find solace in my work and can find it in themselves to create their own safe space for personal reflection, insight and empowerment.
