My creative expression started at an early age. Building, constructing, and sewing were among my childhood pastimes and became a lifetime passion. I have moved through different disciplines in my artistic life but always focused on further developing my creativity. I worked in the apparel industry for several years and made ceramics as a hobby, opening new paths of expression. In my constant search for creativity, I earned two certifications, one in art, and one in photography, and completed numerous workshops in mix media techniques. My art is a collection of all these experiences, often using fabric, thread, paint, and objects that bring new elements to a traditional approach.
Dealing with a shaking tragedy in my family, as well as my deep appreciation for nature and motherhood, are among the triggers that bring a perspective of the fragility and frugality of life, as well as the importance of conserving resources. These themes pervade every work piece I create, whether it is in paint, paper, fabric, or thread. I often employ elements that represent nature, time, life, and death; a very subtle Memento Mori. It is part of my practice to include discarded materials like teabags, labels, used papers, fabrics, wood, and other objects in my artwork.
