A self-taught artist dedicated to painting since childhood, this practice spans oil, graphite, encaustic, collage, sculpture, and found materials. Moving between hyperrealism and abstract expressionism, the work combines precise detail with expressive impasto and integrates elements such as stones and fabrics into realistic pieces to create additional layers of meaning. Themes of strength and resilience are central, with the art addressing empathy and visibility for those affected by abuse or mistreatment—including children, women, animals, and nature—and offering viewers an invitation for self-discovery and healing.
