Artist Statement 

As a painter, fashion designer and entrepreneur, I approach my creative process through the lens of Art + Therapy. In my art practice, the distinction between fibers and painting is remarkably subtle, and I use various artistic mediums to convey my emotions and ideas. This methodology is the foundation of my artistic expression, guiding me in the painterly creation of my artwork and helping me unearth my inner voice for artistic creation. As an artist, my aspiration is to have a positive impact on people's lives and leave an indelible mark on the world. Through the journey of life, I have come to recognize that the world often lacks love, belonging both in giving and sharing the love we receive.

 

I developed a passion for painting as a form of creative expression later in life, during the 2010s. My artistic journey commenced at the Maryland Institute College of Art and extended to various locations, including Maryland, Paris, Milan, and beyond. My artistic process involves the creation of woven pieces using linen or cotton threads and the use of natural pigments for my paintings. I draw inspiration from the music I listen to and my travels, which serve as a consistent side hobby. I'm also conscious of the need to maintain an eco-friendly approach in my artistic endeavors to minimize potential environmental harm. I believe in giving love and sharing amongst the world, we are all one.
