Visual Artist + Storyteller

Painting at the threshold of the real and imagined.

​Figurative paintings draw from folklore, mythology, ancestral memory, ritual, and the unseen. Through layered surfaces, symbolic marks, abstraction, and fragments of language, her figures emerge as archetypes, ancestors, rebels, protectors, witnesses, and imagined presences.

They inhabit worlds that feel familiar, yet slightly beyond our own.

CURRENT WORK

Recent paintings mark a return to the human figure after years spent working primarily in abstraction. The figures arrived unexpectedly—first one, then another—and have continued to expand into an evolving
mythology of their own.
