Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
In my artistic journey, I wield resin, drawing, painting, and sculpting as my instruments of expression, crafting collections that transcend mere aesthetics to deliver profound messages. Due to my fashion background , I also work with textiles and embroidery. Through my work, I strive to create a visual symphony that resonates with the soul, inviting viewers into a realm where imagination dances with meaning and causes feelings of nostalgia.
I use a variety of mediums including: resin, alcohol ink, glitter, gold leaf, acrylic paint, spray paint, crushed glass, mica powder, crystals, ceramic clay, plaster, and epoxy resin. I love the idea of using all these diverse mediums to make a collective story.
Through my art, I seek to provoke thought, stir emotion, and spark dialogue about the intricacies of the human condition and the world we inhabit. Whether exploring themes of identity, social justice, or environmental stewardship, my work serves as a catalyst for introspection and change, inviting viewers to join me on a journey of discovery and enlightenment.
