My work explores human connection, uncertainty, and the emotional experiences that exist beneath the surface of everyday life. I am a multidisciplinary artist, and experimentation is central to my practice. Rather than working within a single medium, I move between collage, drawing, painting, digital illustration, photography, and found or natural materials, allowing the material and process of each piece to shape the world it becomes.

Across these different forms, small human figures frequently appear as a visual language throughout my work. Their scale allows them to feel simultaneously intimate and anonymous: they might represent a specific relationship or moment for me, while leaving enough space for viewers to see themselves within them. I am interested in the contrast between these tiny figures and the much larger environments they inhabit, using scale to explore feelings of connection, isolation, vulnerability, and belonging.

My current work centers on collage and a growing collection of figures I think of as “petal people.” Built from pressed flowers, petals, leaves, paper, and other collected materials, these figures transform delicate organic fragments into small human gestures and interactions. A curved petal can become a torso, a stem can become a limb, and the imperfections of the material often determine a figure’s posture or personality. I am drawn to the tension between the fleeting nature of flowers and the permanence we try to give memories, relationships, and ordinary moments.

Texture and material experimentation have been part of my practice since I began painting in 2022. Earlier works incorporated materials such as spices, tea, sand, and dried botanicals into acrylic paintings, while later pieces moved into oil pastel, illustration, photography, and digital work. Although the mediums continue to change, my curiosity remains consistent. I am interested in discovering how an idea changes when it moves from one material to another, and I see that freedom to experiment as an essential part of my identity as an artist.

Whether I am building a collage from flower petals, drawing a figure smaller than a fingernail, photographing overlapping moments, or creating a large-scale piece, I want my work to reward a closer look. From a distance, a piece may first appear playful, colorful, or simple. Up close, smaller gestures and relationships begin to emerge. I use that contrast to create work that feels approachable while holding space for more complicated emotions underneath.
