Selected Works & Portfolios
My work unfolds through a series of evolving bodies of work, each emerging from a particular memory, experience, place, or question. Rather than separate stories, these bodies of work are connected chapters in an ongoing exploration of memory, identity, place, and transformation.
Through painting, drawing, collage, and mixed media, I build layered surfaces with acrylic paint, fabric, drawing, silkscreen, and abrasion. Materials and marks accumulate, fade, interrupt, and reappear, reflecting the shifting nature of memory and lived experience.
Personal history, cultural inheritance, landscape, the human figure, floral imagery, and light move through my work as recurring forms. I transform these elements rather than simply document them, creating spaces where what is remembered and what is lost, what is present and what is hidden, can coexist.
Each body of work becomes another chapter in an evolving visual language, shaped by what we carry, what we remember, and what continues to change.
