ABOUT

A person standing in an art studio, looking curiously at a large abstract painting on an easel. The painting features a dark blue background with a pattern of circular shapes in yellow or gold.

I am an artist working across painting, ceramic, and installation art. My practice explores the intersection of psychology and visual expression.

I have created murals and installations throughout New York, Philadelphia, and Kansas, engaging with space through layered, conceptual approaches. My work reflects on everyday experiences, transforming them into poetic visual narratives.
