My art explores mental health, struggle, healing, and growth, shaped by my psychology background, including a Master’s in Psychology Research and years supporting young people with mental health challenges and special needs. I'm inspired by the intersection of humanity and nature, and transform inner emotions into expressive portraits, vivid abstractions, and unique, deeply human characters.

At the heart of my practice is a fascination with human emotion. Its fragility, intensity, and transformative power, intertwined with the beauty and resilience of nature. I explore these themes through portraits, abstraction, and surreal forms, blurring the boundaries between humanity, the natural world, and the unseen.

With a Master’s in Psychological Research and years supporting young people with mental health challenges and special needs, I draw daily inspiration from their resilience, vulnerability, and creativity. These experiences inform my work, infusing it with authenticity, empathy, and emotional depth.

Through expressive brushwork, vivid color, and atmospheric intensity, I aim not for realism but for the essence of feeling. My paintings embody longing, joy, fear, love, and transformation; emotions that connect us all. By merging human, natural, and surreal imagery, I create works that are intimate, otherworldly, and deeply human.

Whether through collecting, exhibiting, or experiencing the work, I hope each piece offers reflection, connection, and fragments of your own journey woven into the canvas.
