Artist statement

My work is a visual meditation - an unfolding of lines, shapes, and patterns that emerge intuitively through the process of making.

​

I work primarily with acrylics, applying them to surfaces such as canvas, wood, and paper.

​

My practice is rooted in the expressive freedom of zentangle and doodle techniques, which I use not as rigid systems but as organic pathways into the subconscious.

​

Each piece begins without a fixed plan. I allow the materials and the moment to guide me, responding to marks as they appear and letting the composition evolve naturally. This approach creates a dynamic, layered interplay between precision and spontaneity, chaos and calm. It is in this space—between intention and improvisation—that I find the most meaning.

​

My work is driven by curiosity, rhythm, and a need to make sense of the inner and outer worlds through mark-making. It invites viewers to slow down, get close from afar, lean into the detail, and discover their own stories within the intricate forms.

​

Ultimately, my art is both a personal exploration and a shared invitation—to pause, breathe, and connect with something quieter beneath the surface.
