Abstract and street artist. I use vibrant, bold colours and expression. Themes of energy, nature, identity and female form influence my work. When I create art it heals me. Art has saved me. This is a matter of fact. To share my healing journey, build courage and have the viewer feeling joy is why I share my art.

I believe in experimenting, delving into new undiscovered parts of myself sharing them with others.

Abstract art gives me the freedom to explore things I don’t know about myself and these breakthrough moments are subliminal. I use colours according to my energy, I am healing trauma and I am using colours in a way to express my energy and also the discovery of my ancestral family. I work on canvas, large-scale canvas mainly and murals. I love the freedom of painting on large scale being inside of the painting, being a part of the colour and the language that I’m expressing. Having someone interpret that themselves is often breathtaking and I am on that journey of joyful expression, overcoming trauma, building courage and being a warrior.
